Hi.  I’m wondering whether a mark of omission should be included in a title transcription.

 

Please take a look at CONSER record 2013269609.  The title is transcribed as

 

Cultura Política de la Democracia en Chile y en las Américas, ...

 

I am really doubtful about that mark of omission.  (The capitalization is actually wrong also—it doesn’t match the source—but that isn’t my point at the moment.)  The mark of omission stands for a date.  The date is not grammatically connected to the title phrase at all, though there is a comma between the phrase and the date, so I guess they are connected in a way.  The source looks like

 

Cultura Política de la Democracia en Chile

y en las Américas, 2012:

Hacia la igualdad de oportunidades

 

The third line is a subtitle and based on the publisher’s history will not be consistent.

 

Would you use a mark of omission, or simply end the title at “Américas?”  Thanks.
