We have had a similar conversation when learning RDA and cataloguing in general this week. In our instance though we were discussing how many patrons are contacting us wanting their dates of birth, full names, etc. taken off the bibliographic records and how in today’s age this information is ripe for harvesting from catalogues.
Maybe this is what the subfield d in the 100 field is purposely being left empty.
Cheers

Hi all, I would like to know why now with RDA is used now Tag 046 instead of $d in Tag 100?
With this practice, such information is accessible only to librarians that review the authorities being that that 046 is not recovered in OPACs
Thanks,
