Introduction to

RDA

12 May 2014

What we’ll cover today

• Little bit of theory – FRBR and history

• Differences between AACR2 and RDA

• Access point changes

• Relationships

• New MARC fields

• RDA Toolkit

• SLQ experience

• Q&A

What is RDA

• RDA = Resource Description and Access

• Replaces Anglo American Cataloguing Rules - AACR2

• Informed by FRBR and FRAD

• New standard designed for the digital environment not AACR3

• Usable outside the library community

• Online product - accessed through RDA Toolkit

RDA – a ‘Content’ standard

• Describes ‘what’ to record, not ‘how’

• Independent of encoding schemas

• Adaptable and sharable in a digital world

RDA - a new way of thinking

• Application of FRBR/FRAD

• Format neutral

• More cataloguer’s judgement

Purpose of RDA

• The focus of RDA is the user

– Each section is explicitly related to user tasks

– Fewer abbreviations and omissions

– No limitations on the number of access points

History

• 1978 – AACR2

• 1997 – International Conference on the Principles and

Future Development of AACR

• 2004 – proposal for AACR3

– AACR3 : Resource description and access

• 2005 – RDA began

• 2010 – RDA published

Why do we need to change

• Web 1.0

• Web 2.0

• The Semantic Web

• Linked data

RDA and FRBR

What RDA does:

• Includes FRBR terminology where appropriate

• Uses the FRBR attributes as the basis for specific data elements to be included in bibliographic descriptions

• Addresses FRBR relationships

• Uses the FRBR user tasks as the basis for defining a set of mandatory data elements.

What RDA is not

• RDA is not

– An encoding scheme

– A display or presentation standard

– A rigid set of rules

– Structured around ISBD areas and elements

– Confined to a library environment

FRBR vs RDA vs MARC

• FRBR is a conceptual model

• RDA is a cataloguing standard based on the FRBR conceptual model

• MARC is an encoding scheme by which computers exchange, use and interpret bibliographic information

– Developed alongside AACR

– RDA is not dependent on MARC

FRBR

FRBR = Functional Requirements for Bibliographic

Records

• A conceptual model (of the bibliographic universe) that underlies RDA

An entity-relationship model

• Identifies specific user tasks that bibliographic records are intended to fulfil:

Find – Identify – Select – Obtain

FRBR

• FRBR focuses on three aspects:

– entities, attributes, relationships

• An entity is a ‘being’ or ‘thing with a distinct existence’

• An attribute is a quality, something that characterises or describes the entity

• A relationship is the link between different entities

FRBR

The key ‘things’ of interest to the user

• 3 groups

Group 1 entities (Resources)

• Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item

– Group 2 entities (Agents)

• People, families, corporate bodies

– Group 3 entities (Subjects)

• Concepts, objects, events, plus Group 1 & 2 entities

FRBR entities – Group 1

• Group 1 - Products of intellectual and artistic endeavour

– Work is a “distinct intellectual or artistic creation”

– Expression is the “specified intellectual or artistic form that a work takes each time it is ‘realised’”

– Manifestation is “the physical embodiment of an expression of a work”

– Item – is “a single exemplar of a manifestation”

WEMI = Works, Expressions, Manifestations,

Items

What is FRBR? : a conceptual model for the bibliographic universe / Barbara Tillett

FRBR entities – Group 2

• Group 2 – Those responsible for Group 1 (the intellectual and artistic content)

– Person

– Corporate body

– Family

FRBR entities – Group 3

• Group 3 – Subjects of works

– Concept

– Object

– Event

– Place

• Plus

– Groups 1 and 2 entities

Relationships

A work may be realized through one or more than one expression

An expression is the realization of one and only one work

• An expression may be embodied in one or more than one manifestation

A manifestation may embody one or more than one expression .

• A manifestation may be exemplified by one or more than one item

An item may exemplify one and only one manifestation .

Content Relationships

• Equivalent

• Derivative

• Descriptive

• Whole/part

• Part to part

• Shared characteristics

Equivalent Relationships

• Most commonly exist between the manifestations of an expression of a work

• Alternate

― Simultaneously released edition

― Alternate format

• Reproduction

― Reprint

― Mirror site

― Facsimile

Derivative Relationships

• Work-to-Work or Expression-to-Expression

• Different Expressions of the same Work

― Revision

― Literal translation

― Musical arrangement

― Dubbed or subtitled version of a film

― Illustrated edition

• A new Work based on another Work

Differences between AACR2 and

RDA

Terminology

New MARC fields

Differences between AACR2 and RDA

What’s the same

• Instructions in AACR2 formed the basis of text for RDA

– Many instructions have not changed (or not changed much)

• Includes options and alternatives (more options in RDA)

• Includes Library of Congress interpretations

– Now called LC-PCC PS – Library of Congress-Program for Cooperative

Cataloguing Policy Statements

• Can still code records in MARC

– Records will still look much the same – more information

Differences between AACR2 and RDA

What’s different

• User focus

• Format neutral

• Different framework (FRBR/FRAD)

• Core elements (not levels of description)

• Instructions not rules (flexible, cataloguer’s judgement)

• Terminology

• Relationships

• Transcribing data (Principle of representation)

Differences between AACR2 and RDA

• MARC changes

• ISBD changes

• GMD – general material designator

• replaced by new elements (and new MARC fields)

Content

– Media

– Carrier

Example -

245 00 $a Cape York :$b still the great adventure.

264 1 $a [ Victoria ] :$b [ publisher not identified ] , $c [ 2013 ]

Example from RDA

2.0 - Purpose and Scope

This chapter provides general guidelines and instructions on recording the attributes of manifestations and items that are most often used to identify a resource. …

…The user generally relies on these same elements: a) to determine whether the resource described is the one sought b) to distinguish between resources with similar identifying information.

FRBR/FRAD framework

RDA Section

1 – Recording attributes of manifestations and items

What’s in it

– first statement of responsibility

– edition statement

– material specific details

– first publisher, etc.

– date of publication, etc.

– extent of item

– notes

– standard number

2009)

RDA - core elements

– title proper

– first statement of responsibility

– designation of edition

– designation of a named revision of an edition

– numbering of serials

– scale of cartographic content

– first place of publication

– first publisher’s name

– date of publication

– title proper of series/subseries

– numbering within series/subseries

– identifier for the manifestation

Principles of RDA

• Transcribe what you see

• Accept what you get

Fewer abbreviations, more words

– Misspellings are transcribed as written, then explained in a note or an alternate title (246 field)

(There is an exception for misspellings in a serial title)

• Also, there is the concept of “Core” and “Core if”

Transcribing data

• Descriptions match the way the entity describes itself

• Discourages

– Use of abbreviations

Omission of relevant information

– Adding information

– Changing information

• More cataloguer’s judgement

Transcribe what you see

How to identify RDA records

How to identify RDA records

• LDR

– Descriptive cataloguing form (LDR/18) is coded ‘i’ = ISBD punctuation included NOT ‘a’ = AACR2

• 040

– Contains $e rda

How to identify RDA records

• No more GMD

– eg, $h [videorecording] in 245 field no longer used

• Includes 336, 337, 338 fields

• 264 field used in place of old 260 for publication details

– Note the use of the copyright date in a separate 264 field and the use of the copyright symbol in place of c.

How to identify RDA records

• Data transcribed as found on item (

Note: see App A Capitalization)

• Latin abbreviations not used

– eg, s.l., s.n., et al, ca. no longer used

• Unknown place and/or publisher

– [Place of publication not identified]

– [publisher not identified]
