3. RDA Attributes Recording Attributes vs Constructing Access Points

4. RDA Structure

5. Attributes • Attributes are elements that identify and/or describe a person, corporate body, or work, expression, etc. • Within the MARC21 environment, attributes (especially for works) may appear in either/both authority records and bibliographic records

6. Attributes vs Authorized access points • An authorized access point is made up: • The preferred form of name (whether person, work, expression, etc.) • Attribute(s), but only if core or if necessary to differentiate the name from a similar name • Some (but not all) attributes MAY be used in a authorized access point, but not necessarily

7. Recording Attributes in NARs • Need to be able to record attributes independently of the 1XX • Several new MARC fields have been created to record these attributes • Data may or may not be used in the construction of preferred access points, and may not be in the same form as that in the preferred access point • SEARCHABLE in OCLC (en:)

8. Attributes in Bib Records • attributes for works and expressions will often be recorded in the bib record as well as the authority record • The same data may be recorded differently in bib vs authority records—one may use a controlled vocabulary, one may not
