  1. FRADA Personal View Ed Jones ALA annual conference <2008, Anaheim, CA>

  2. Quote “You see things; and say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?’”—Bernard Shaw (spoken by the Serpent to Eve in Back to Methuselah)

  3. What I’m going to talk about • 1 Records and data • 2 GARR, we hardly know ye • 3 Names and persons • 4 Persons and attributes • 5 How the Germans do it • 6 Relationships, works, and names • 7 What I’m not going to talk about

  4. Records (to make catalog cards)

  5. How authority control worked in a card catalog: On item:Department of Psychiatry, University of Heidelberg On card in drawer 1:Department of …Departments are entered under the name of the body or government to which they are subordinate (e.g., University of Reading. Dept. of Geography; United States. Dept. of the Interior; etc.) On card in drawer 2 at the other end of the catalog:University of HeidelbergseeHeidelberg. Universität On card in drawer 3:Heidelberg. Universität. Dept. of Psychiatry see Heidelberg.Universität. Psychiatrische Klinik

  6. To summarize:Authority records in a card catalog • The system guided the user to the resource • The system anticipated the user’s missteps • The user couldn’t make a typo • The user got exercise • The system was carbon-neutral

  7. Online, the card catalog doesn’t work so well

  8. Futurama: Data Tolstoy, Leo, 1828-1910 [Voĭna i mir.English] < Tolstoy, Leo, graf,1828-1910. [War and peace] Found: His War and peace, 1983. Summary: “An epic novel of Russian society in the early 19th century. The war with Napoleon-led France is the backdrop to personal stories of members from four aristocratic families: the Bezuhovs, Bolkonskys, Kuragins, and Rostovs. Love, death, war, spiritual struggle, and financial loss bring personal growth for the characters and underscore the main theme: the search for the meaning of life.”—Cliff notes.

  40. What I really didn’t talk about

  41. Conclusion • As the FRBR conceptual model has encouraged us to look at bibliographic records in new ways, so the FRAD model encourages us to look at authority data in new ways • Like libraries, these conceptual models are growing organisms
