  2. Overview • Where is the record? • RDA entities, relationships, and attributes • What is the record? • Links, labels, and descriptions • When is a record required? • Applications and contexts

  3. Distinct FRBR/FRAD Entities Work One and only one Person Expression One or more Agent Family Manifestation Corporate Body Item Primary/high-level relationships

  4. RDA Entity relationships Work Person Expression Family Manifestation Corporate Body Item How many records do you see?

  5. RDA Entity attributes Work human/machine identifier identifier for the work identifier component preferred title for the work Person right ascension and declination Expression identifier for the expression language of the expression Family projection of cartographic content Manifestation identifier for the manifestation title proper Corporate Body extent of cartographic resource Item identifier for the item Is this a record?

  7. RDA and linked data *Totals are approximate A set of linkable entities rich enough to represent the complexity of and support access to global cultural heritage content. A set of textual relationships rich enough to describe all types of content and carrier. rdaregistry.info

  8. Application: FRBRized Linked data W1 E1 M1 I1 P1 P2 C1 F1 W2 W3 E5 “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ Human-actionable “…“ Machine-actionable

  9. Is this an “RDA” “record”? Application: unFRBRized Linked data R5 E1 R1 I1 M1 W1 R2 F1 C1 P2 R3 P1 “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“ “…“

  10. Summary • An RDA record is a set of machine-readable identifiers and human-readable text compliant with the RDA instructions and selected for a particular application and context. • The set is specified by RDA entity, attribute, and relationship vocabularies. • RDA is intended for use in linked data applications. The application determines the set.
