It’s definitely confusing to to point of near meaninglessness, and I’m not sure it’s really necessary to specify person, corporate body, etc. in the relationship itself. (No other relators that I know of do this.) For the life of me I cannot figure out what’s wrong with “Founder:” (connecting corp. body to person/corp. body/family that founded the entity) “Founded:” (connecting person/corp. body/family to corp. body they founded) b From: Program for Cooperative Cataloging [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Noble, Richard Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2016 8:33 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PCCLIST] "founded corporate body" now three wordy RDs On Thu, Sep 8, 2016 at 2:12 AM, Moore, Richard <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: The phrase “Founded corporate body of person” is (one assumes) clear to whoever devised it, is obscure to you and me, and will be meaningless to a user. It has the look of a phrase mechanically translated and rearranged from a different language, invoking a rule that in English an adjective must precede the noun it modifies, though here it functions as a past participle, and with a preposition translated "of" that would be properly translated as "by". Might this have been the process?
