  1. Looking to the Future:Information Systems and Metadata Presented by Dr. Barbara B. Tillett Chief, Policy & Standards Division, Library of Congress January 23, 2009

  2. Internet • Catalogs are no longer the end points in isolation • Global access to data • Integrate bibliographic data with wider Internet environment • Share data beyond institutions

  3. Internet “Cloud” Services Databases, Repositories Web front end

  4. Infrastructureto Build for the Future Delivery to users Information Systems + Content Data Models Content Standards Objectives Cataloging Principles Conceptual Models User Tasks

  5. Authority Record Bibliographic Record 001 14919759 030 DLC 005 20090121141236.0 014 2008028824 561 0# $aFrom the collection of S. Smith. Holdings Record

  6. “Bridge” Period Mapping tables for RDA and MARC, Dublin Core, MODS/MADS, and ISBD Decisions in PCC and local choices for alternatives and options, if needed – documented in RDA Online Development of RDA Workflows and other training materials (e.g., changes from AACR2)

  7. Data Value Registriesfor Controlled Vocabularies • Categories of entities • FRBR: work, expression, manifestation, item, person, family, corporate body, concept, object, event, place • Values for attributes, e.g.: • Work-Expression content types (RDA/ONIX) • Manifestation carrier types: (RDA/ONIX) • Concepts: (LCSH subject heading strings) • Registries on the Web

  8. RDA Cataloging Scenarios Scenario 1: Relational/object oriented database structure Alternative/ future: linked data, semantic web structures Scenario 2 Linked bibliographic and authority records Scenario 3 ‘Flat file’ (no machine-actionable links)

  9. “Record” structures • Bibliographic entry in book catalogs • Main entry/added entries in card catalog • Bibliographic, Authority, and Holdings records – MARC format • Stand alone or linked • Information packets/Description sets = clusters of attributes to identify each entity and indicate relationships • Linked

  14. Scenario 2 Author/title/subject Authority record Bibliographic record Holdings/Item record Holdings/Item record • MARC structure • Self-contained records • May or may not have any explicit connection between bibliographic and authority records

  15. Relational / object-oriented database structure Scenario 1 Access Point Control Record Work Access Point Control Record Expression Access Point Control Record Manifestation Access Point Control Record Holdings/Item

  16. Scenario 1 Concept Person Work Person Expression Manifestation Item Manifestation Corporate body Item Item • Linked “records” for entities • works, expressions, manifestations, items, persons, corporate bodies, families, concepts, etc.

  17. Scenario 1 Shakespeare Hamlet Romeo and Juliet English French German Swedish Stockholm 2008 Library of Congress Copy 1 Green leather binding • Display • All the works associated with aperson, etc. • All the expressions of the same work • All the manifestations of the same expression • All items/copies of the same manifestation

  24. Information packages Linked data Attribute sets (define the entities and relationships) RDA elements and sub-elements Registries Values for controlled data Relationship designators

  25. Wish List Templates or RDA Online workflow “wizards” ILS links from specific elements in input screens to RDA instructions

  26. Wish List Import descriptive metadata Publisher/author supplied (e.g., ONIX) Third-party supplied Book vendors, contractors Validation of required “core” elements linked to mode of issuance

  27. Wish List Import controlled metadata VIAF (language/script appropriate to user) Registries for RDA/ONIX terms Drop down menus for controlled vocabularies Media, content, carrier types Names of persons, families, corporate bodies Subject headings

  28. Wish List Automatic suggestion of classification/subject headings for works Based on keywords found in resource record and/or digital resource itself or accompanying tables of contents, abstracts, summaries, etc. Based on matches with existing similar works Classification and subject heading correlations

  29. Wish List Automatic generation of work/expression data and links to “creator” Based on identifying elements for the “first” manifestation Automatic prompting and validation of work/expression data Suggests possible matches for new cataloging

  30. Wish List Easy way to share “maintained” data worldwide

  31. Wish List FRBR collocating (expand and collapse elements for displays) Simple displays of pathways to related resources and information about related entities Open options if user wishes to explore – don’t overwhelm with all possible relationships

  32. Considerations to get there Bridge What incentives are needed to reach Scenario 1? How would staff of different institutions, programs, publishers, systems, national, etc., function in and support Scenario 1? What are the economic/legal obstacles to overcome if some controlled vocabularies are proprietary, restricted, or less easily available on the Web? Does someone need to start the ball rolling for Scenario 1? Who? How?
