Hello I've spotted the element sets for FRBRer and FRAD registered by Gordon: FRBRer: http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/5.html FRAD: http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/24.html
In your paper "RDA Vocabularies: Process, Outcome, Use" you said: Once the RDF version of FRBR is officially available from IFLA, relationships between the same classes in the RDA-defined version of FRBR and IFLA version of FRBR will be made to indicate that these are actually the same entities. I suppose this FRBRer registration represents the official IFLA ontology, doesn't it? Accordingly, I'd like to make sure about some details to understand things right... - So does this mean you link the already registered "FRBR entities for RDA" to the corresponding FRBRer entities (i.e. by sameAs-relationships)? - How do you deal with the entity "family"? Do you link to FRAD? - How do you handle all the duplicated RDA relationships specified in FRBRer? Will those be linked too or replaced? - Furthermore, I am not sure if I got the idea behind specifying additional types of entities beyond the classical ones (i.e. Sound Recording Manifestation). I think all the additional entities in FRBRer can be represented by the classical ones applying the corresponding attributes. However, do these new entities influence the specified RDA element sets? Thanks in advance for your reply! Best, alex
