Hi Jonathan,
Karen is absolutely right about the need for application profiles, but in
this case the Metadata Registry is intended to also help with creating and
maintaining recombinant value vocabs -- you should minimally be able to
create a vocabulary that meets your needs, assign URIs, and map
Phew, that's very confusing, I'm going to have to read it over a couple
times, but I think it does help, thanks for the info Diane.

Hi Jonathan,
As Esha said, PBCore might be worth looking at. It's probably one of the more
complete
lists. If you want something more formal than the PBCore list, the EBU also has

This discussion is like the poster child for why we need to be able to
create application profiles -- every list mentioned here has a point of
view (MARC:library cataloging; AAT:holdings as objects; ONIX:product
catalog). You should be able to cherry pick the terms you want and
declare it

What strikes me about the code list you found is how difficult it is to
use, as compared to what we're starting to do for RDA. The methodology
that ONIX uses to build and maintain their lists really pushes a lot of
the onus over to the user to keep up with changes in their

Anyone know of any good existing controlled vocabulary for 'format' or
'carrier' for multimedia materials? I'm thinking of things like CD,
DVD, digital, etc.
The closest I can get is from RDA at

Hi, Jonathan,
Two points as you search out a solution:
1. I agree with your assessment of the current RDA carrier vocabulary.
You might want to look at the RDA/ONIX vocabularies (still not
registered, but there are plans to do so:

Thanks Diane. That article on RDA/ONIX doesn't seem to include actual
terms, the actual vocabularly. I realize there are plans to 'register'
it officially, but prior to that, can the actual term list be found
anywhere in human-readable format? Or does it not exist yet?

Hi,
Have you looked at PBCore? It's a metadata standard developed by the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting and is used for tv and other
multi media cataloging. They should have a pretty good controlled
vocabulary list. Try this: formatPhysical (http://www.pbcore.org/
