    En el presente trabajo se estudian los orígenes, naturaleza funcional e historia de la designación general de material (DGM) como elemento de la descripción bibliográfica destinado a la identificación de los materiales no librarios. Se muestra su aparición y evolución en el código AACR y en las normas ISBD. Se analiza la problemática generada en torno a la interpretación y uso de la DGM, centrada en la ausencia de una definición formal del concepto de clase de material, la emergencia de recursos con características múltiples y la confusión terminológica. Se exponen los factores concurrentes en la transformación actual de la DGM, situados en el contexto de la revisión de las AACR2 y la aparición del modelo conceptual FRBR. Finalmente, se presentan las iniciativas en curso relacionadas con la redefinición de la DGM y su adaptación al entorno digital, desarrolladas por la IFLA, el IME-ICC, y el JSC, responsable del estándar RDAResource Description and Access.

    This paper studies the origins, functional nature and history of general material designation (GMD) as an element of bibliographic des-cription for the identification of non-book materials. It records the appearance, and development of GMD in the AACR code and ISBD standards.

    The problems arising in the interpretation and use of GMD, especially the lack of a formal definition of the class of material concept, the emergence of multiple characteristic resources, and terminological confusion are also analysed. The factors affecting the present transformation of GMD within the context of the revision of AACR2 and the appearance of the FRBR conceptual model are reviewed. Finally, current initiatives related to the redefinition of GMD and its adaptation to the digital environment, undertaken by the IFLA, IME-ICC and JSC (the last of these being responsible for the RDA-Resource Description and Access standard), are presented.
