RDA 5.5: Relator Terms
Relator terms
In AACR2, many relator terms were not included on headings. With RDA, the relator terms are retained and expanded if they are in their abbreviated form. MARS 2.0 will retain all relator terms in X00 $e, X10 $e, and X11 $j (unless otherwise directed).
the following relator term abbreviations will be expanded:
| Abbreviated | Expanded |
| ill. | illustrator |
| illus. | illustrator |
| comp. | compiler |
| arr. | arranger |
| tr. | translator |
| auth. | author |
| jt. | joint |
Open Metadata Registry
MARS 2.0 also utilizes an RDF-derived list of relator terms from the Open Metadata Registry. At the time of this update, there are over 460 unique terms that MARS 2.0 utilizes to check your relator terms. If any do not appear on this list, they are flagged for one of our reports (R119). In addition to this, Backstage also employs common typo lists to check and correct for errors (e.g., 'astor' corrected to 'actor').
