Subject: cataloging of maps

Dear friends,

we started cataloguing of our map collection and have met some
problems we would like to hear your opinion about.

In the example below - for those who do not see Hebrew fonts - the
map was printed in 1948 by  Survey of Israel.

Which year should be given in the imprint field? The date of the last
revision (1946) or the date of printing (1948)?

If we are giving the last date (1948) can we give Survey of
Palestine as publisher (Survey of Palestine already did not exist in
1948)?

I checked in OCLC, the search according to the keyword Palestine and
keyword Survey and material type map gives 60 results and we
immediately see the discrepancies between entries 19850228 and
19920707.
