205b Issue statement

This subfield contains an edition statement relating to an issue or an additional edition statement (see examples 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15, 19) or an alternative edition statement (see examples 6, 14). Repeatable for a parallel (see example 15) or additional issue statement.

A subfield corresponds to the ISBD Additional Edition Statement.

205d Parallel edition statement

The statement of an edition in a language and/or script other than the edition statement in subfield a (see examples 9, 15, 20). Repeatable for each additional statement.

205f Statement of responsibility relating to edition

The first of any statements of responsibility relating to the edition. May appear following subfields a, b or d (see examples 7, 9, 14, 16, 18). Repeatable for parallel first statements (see example 9) and first statements relating to additional edition statements.

205g Subsequent statement of responsibility

Any subsequent statement of responsibility relating to the edition. Follows subfield f (see example 7). Repeatable for additional subsequent statements and parallel subsequent statements (see example 16).

NOTES ON FIELD CONTENTS

The data in the field should be entered as in ISBD in the terms that appear on the item. The correspondence between this subfield and ISBD specification is illustrated bellow.

SUBFIELDELEMENT NAMEISBD(G) SECTIONPRECEDING PUNCTUATION
aEdition statement2.1New area
bIssue or additional edition statement2.4,
dParallel edition statement2.2=
fStatement of responsibility relating to edition2.3, 2.5/
gSubsequent statement of responsibility2.3, 2.5;

Statements of responsibility are entered immediately after the edition issue statement to which they specifically apply. If a statement of responsibility applies to the work as a whole, and not merely to one particular edition or issue, it is entered in subfields 200f or g. A single statement of responsibility may contain more than one name in some cases (see examples 8, 16).

When a statement relating to an issue or reprint is present on the item and there is no edition statement present, the issue statement is entered in subfield a (see examples 4, 12).

Parallel data

Parallel data appearing on the item (i.e. data repeated in another language or script) is denoted in ISBD by the use of equals sign followed by a space "= ". In subfield 205d the equals sign will be generated automatically (see examples 9, 15, 20).
