Information:
The 250 tag contains the edition statement information relating to
the resource. An edition is defined as materials produced by the same
entity or publisher using the same type image for print items,
containing essentially the same contents for electronic resources, or
having the same contents as the master copy for all other types of
materials. The edition statement is generally identified through
such words as edition, issue, or version, and any associated words
such as revised and enlarged.
The cataloging standards "Anglo-American Cataloging Rules" (AACR2)
and "Resource Description and Access" (RDA) control the structure and
information entered into the edition statement.
The edition statement, usually consisting of alpha and numeric characters,
is transcribed when it it found on the resource. With AACR2, numbers
expressed as words are entered as numerals and the standard
abbreviations of rev. for revised, enl. for enlarged, and ed. for
edition are used. With RDA, the edition statement is transcribed as it
appears on the source of information, words are abbreviated only if they
are abbreviated on the resource and numbers expressed as words are
entered as words.
