RBMS Controlled Vocabularies
Authority control ... more addictive than heroin.
William S. Burroughs
Welcome to the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Wiki! This wiki is designed to assist in the creation and editing of terms under consideration for inclusion in the RBMS Thesauri: Genre Terms, Binding Terms, Paper Terms, Printing and Publishing Evidence, Type Evidence, Provenance Evidence, as well as a list of approved Relator Terms. It is open to the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Committee Members, the chair of the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee and to the Vocabularies editor. Comments are welcome from the community via DCRM-L or by email addressed to the editor.
For more information and for a list of publicly available terms, please visit our webpage.

I'm inspired by the CV wiki, Nina, but am wondering if there was a decision made to stop including the name and institution of the person proposing a new term from the HN, or whether that practice just gradually slipped away with no one paying much attention. For what it's worth, I find it useful.

Thanks Deborah. We're keeping the original proposals on a separate page. I can't remember keeping the names/institutions in the final record, but we could certainly start.
