  1. Module C:Identifying expressions User task: identify

  2. Expressions • Remember: a work is expressed through language, sound, movement, etc. (includes performances) RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  3. Identifying the expression • Also called “naming the expression” • Same as AACR2 “main entry” if the manifestation contains that expression: Bibl. records: • 100/110/111 + 240 • 130 Auth. records: • 100/110/111 $a $t + __ • 130 RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  4. Bibliographic or authority data? • RDA does not prescribe if attributes about the expression and the access points are to be recorded as bibliographic data or authority data • LC policy: • Always identify the expression by giving information in bibliographic record • Sometimes identify the expression by making a title or name/title authority record -- no changes from policy in DCM Z1 RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  5. Authorized access points • Forms created according to RDA chapter 6 • See RDA appendix E and LCPS 1.7.1 for punctuation, etc. (AACR2 style carried forward) • Used in bibliographic records to identify the expression being cataloged; also as 6XX and 7XX to represent relationships to other expressions • LC: used in other authority records as 5XX fields (relationships to other expressions) for treaties and if cataloger judgment RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  6. LC policy (LCPS 6.27.3) • Identify these expressions by using an authorized access point: 1. Music resources (RDA 6.28.3) 2. Sacred scriptures (RDA 6.30.3) 3. Translations 4. Compilations whose preferred title is a conventional collective title beginning with “Works” RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  7. LC policy (LCPS 6.27.3) • Identify other expressions? • Yes, by including expression attributes in the bibliographic record -- choice allowed in RDA 0.6.3, e.g., • Date of expression (often the date of manifestation in 260 field is used as date of expression) • Content type in 336 field RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  8. LC policy (LCPS 6.27.3) • If an expression in one of the four categories is not already represented by an NAR, do not add another characteristic to differentiate one such expression from another • For example, do not differentiate one translation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in French from another French translation of the same work by adding another expression attribute (e.g., translator’s name or date of the expression) in subfield $s RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  9. LC policy (LCPS 6.27.3) • If there is already an AACR2 NAR for a single expression, use that established form; do not add an RDA form in the 7XX field • Exception: If the existing AACR2 NAR applies to more than one expression, give separate access points for the expressions (do not make NARs) AACR2 NAR: 100 $a ... $t ... $l French & English RDA bibl.: 700 $a ... $t ... $l French. 700 $a ... $t ... $l English. RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  10. LC policy (LCPS 6.27.3) • If there is already an RDA NAR for the expression, use that established form even if it includes an additional expression attribute (e.g., name of the translator in subfield $s) that LC would not add if creating a new RDA NAR • LC/PCC will make a decision about keeping or deleting the NARs that include such additional expression attributes 100 $a ... $t ... $l English $s (Sayers) RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  11. Sources and language of expression attributes • Sources: any source • Language and script as prescribed in instructions in RDA chapter 6 RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  12. Authorized access points • RDA 6.27.3: how to put together the elements to construct an authorized point [with links back to specific elements] • Authorized access point for the work is the basis • Additions to the authorized access point for the work (no priority order) What? No title for the expression? No, not in the FRAD model. RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  13. Additions to the authorized access point for the expression • 6.9: content type * • 6.10: date of the expression * ^ • 6.11: language of the expression * • 6.12: another distinguishing characteristic of the expression * and/or LC: * = if need to differentiate; ^ always for “Works” & “Works ...” RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  14. Content type (RDA 6.9) • Scope = “fundamental form of communication in which the content is expressed and the human sense through which it is intended to be perceived ...” • Controlled vocabulary in RDA 6.9.1.3 • Access point: in subfield $h 130 $a ____________ $h Spoken word [For the audiobook of a printed text] RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C

  15. Content type also in bibliographic record (336 field) • One content type present in LC’s templates; may add another field if more than one appropriate • One content type added by macro for existing records; may add another field if more than one appropriate • May use subfield $3 if multiple components and term does not apply to all RDA at LC 2011 -- Module C
