Stephen, There are 2 official lists, one for the UK and another for the US, Australia and Canada. They are found at 1.1C1 in AACR. The US list is on-line at http://www.roundrockisd.org/mediacenter/handbook/Cataloging-GMD_list.doc but that is not official. Note that the terms "large print" "tactile" or "braille" can be added to the end of most terms in the list. [cartographic material (large print)] for example. The term "text" is rarely used, most records are considered text unless another GMD is present.
