RDA
- Development started in 2005
- Replacing AACR2
- designed with digital environments & interoperability in mind
- describes digital materials and print materials
- RDA test in 2010 amongst several large libraries
- Library of Congress long-term plan: RDA Implementation Day: Mar 31, 2013
- it's a content standard to replace AACR2
- it's not an encoding standard & doesn't replace MARC
- a new way of describing bibliographic resources -- new conceptual models
- based on FRBR and FRAD
- FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
- FRAD: Functional Requirements for Authority Data
- FRSAD: Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data, recently published
FRBR
- a conceptual model for the bibliographic universe
- entity-relationship model
- defines
- user tasks
- bibliographic entries
example: Person(Jane Austen) <-created/was created by-> Work(Pride and Prejudice)
- Group 1: the products of intellectual endeavor
- Work
- is realized through: Expression (conceptual: eg prose)
- is embodied in: Manifestation (book, book-of-essays)
- is exemplified by: Item (the actual physical book sitting on a library shelf)
- is embodied in: Manifestation (book, book-of-essays)
- is realized through: Expression (conceptual: eg prose)
- part-to-part and whole-to-part relationships are possible
- Work
- Group 2: those entities responsible for physicla production/distribution of same
- Person, Group, Corporate Body, etc
- Group 3: subjects of intellectual endeavour
- Concept, Object, Time, Place
- any reprints, facsimilies, translations (!) etc of an original text are the same Work
- parodies, annotated edition, etc, are new Works
- expressions of the work: editions, translations
- paperback, e-book, audio recordings are all different Manifestations of the same Expression of the Work
FRBR User Tasks
- FIND materials
- IDENTIFY an entity
- SELECT an entity that matches the user's needs
- OBTAIN access to the entity
RDA
- amongst other things, breaks out things like multimedia data type ("audio") vs carrier ("compact disc")
Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative
- Lib of Congress initiative to transfer away from MARC21 to another format
- this will be well into the future
What does this all mean for Evergreen?
- WEMI: it's fun to say!!!
- Works Expression Manifestation Item
- what are the development possibilities presented by RDA, and where do we want to go with it?
- how can we make a better catalog & staff client?
- RDA is all about relationships.
- go to a page about Samuel Johnson; you could have not only things he wrote, but works about him, a painting of him, etc etc.
- (what will a FRBR-informed cataloguing interface look like??)
- more relationships to illuminate:
- critical/scholarly reviews
- novels grouped with their film/tv/stage adaptations; movies & their remakes
