----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The Canadian General Standards Board and the Canadian Library Association have just published "Geomatic data sets cataloguing rules". "The standard provides rules for the description of geomatic data sets to be used in the construction of library catalogues or other lists. The document is based on the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, second edition revised (AACR2R). While AACR2R contains separate chapters for cartographic materials and computer files, the committee has compiled the relevant rules from these chapters into one sequence. Some of these rules were modified and further rules were added in order to address the unique nature of geomatic material."
