  35. Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) Bibliographic Entities known by Names and/or Identifiers Controlled Access Points basis for 35

  36. FRAD Bibliographic Entities Person Work Family Expression Concept Corporate Body Manifestation Object associated with Item Event Place known by Name assigned Identifier 36

  37. FRAD Name Identifier basis for Controlled Access Point governed by Rules applied by created / modified by Agency 37

  38. 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

  39. Current Cataloging Environment • Web-based • Wide range of information carriers • complexity of content • Metadata (bibliographic information) • Created by a wider range of personnel in and outside libraries • Element-based metadata schemas • Dublin Core, ONIX, etc.

  40. Toronto, Canada JSC invited worldwide experts Issues leading to RDA Principles Content vs. carrier Logical structure of AACR Seriality Internationalization 1997 International Conference on the Principles and Future Development of AACR

  41. Strategic Plan for RDA2002+ http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/jsc/stratplan.html 41

  42. GOALS: RDA will be … • A new standard for resource description and access • Designed for the digitalworld • Optimized for use as an online product • Description and access of all resources • All types of content and media • Resulting records usable in the digital environment (Internet, Web OPACs, etc.)

  43. RDA will be … • A consistent, flexible, and extensible framework • Compatible with internationally established principles, models, and standards • Primarily for use in libraries, but also adaptable across many information communities worldwide

  44. Content vs. Display • RDA will be a content standard – not a display or encoding standard • Independent of the format, medium, or system used to store or communicate the data • display format (e.g., OPAC labels, ISBD) • communication format (e.g., MARC 21, MODS, Dublin Core) • RDA Appendix for mapping to ISBD, MARC, Dublin Core, etc.

  45. Foundations • Support FRBR user tasks • Find, identify, select, obtain • FRAD user tasks • Find, identify, contextualize, justify • IME ICC statements

  46. General Principles (IME ICC) • Consistency and Standardization • Integration • Defensible, not arbitrary • If contradict, take a defensible, practical solution. • Convenience of user • Representation • Common usage • Accuracy • Sufficiency and necessity • Significance • Economy

  47. Transcription – Principle of Representation in RDA “Take what you see” Correction of inaccuracies elsewhere No more abbreviating Accept what you get Facilitating automated data capture

  48. Who develops and supports RDA? Committee of Principals AACR Fund Trustees/ Publishers Joint Steering Committee ALA CC:DA ACOC BL CCC CILIP LC 48

  50. Collaborations with other Metadata Communities • ONIX (Publishers) • RDA, Dublin Core, IEEE/LOM, Semantic Web • “Data Modeling Meeting” - London 2007 • RDA/MARC Working Group (MARBI)
