April, Appendix N of Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Cartographic) deals specifically with composite atlases; you can find the manual online at: http://rbms.info/files/dcrm/dcrmc/DCRMC.pdf. As concerns DCRM rules in relation to RDA, I would recommend reviewing the following statement from the Bibliographic Standards Committee of the Rare Book and Manuscript Section of ACRL/ALA: https://rbms.info/dcrm/rda/ (Note that the paragraph on Cartographic has not been revised since the publication of DCRM(C); you can use the BSR for DCRM(C), though.) Regardless of whether or not your institution follows the PCC RDA BIBCO Standard Record (BSR) guidelines, you can follow the instructions as given in Appendix N of DCRM(C), coding your record RDA and DCRMC. As you will see in Appendix N, one option of describing a composite atlas is very similar to how Jan and his colleagues have done (cataloging the atlas as well as the maps within). As far as how these bibliographic creations fit into the WEMI model, I don’t think anyone has come up with a sensible explanation; if someone has, I would like to hear from them. Hope this helps.

All separate maps have been given a full description.

These are atlases which contain an unique grouping of usually printed maps which were selected by or for a particular customer. They are generally antiquarian in nature, or at least I don't think I've seen one made with modern maps. The atlas may or may not have a title page describing the nature of the selection or for or by whom it was made, and includes printed maps that would also have been available for purchase individually. Thus, the individual maps can each be described bibliographically, but the combination of maps bound in the atlas is also bibliographically unique. I've checked the RDA Toolkit, Cartographic Materials and the LC Map Cataloging Manual with no success. And trying to figure out how this sort of work fits into the WEMI model of RDA is making my head hurt! Many thanks for any help.
