[RDA-L] Deadlines reminder

2013-11-27 Thread JSC Secretary
Dear JSC,

Because there are so many deadlines floating around in emails, Gordon
agreed that I should send a listing of current deadlines.  I'll update the
list via email as deadlines are added.  The list below includes dates from
the 2013 meeting actions table plus dates assigned after the meeting via
emails.  It doesn't include any of my tasks related to editing for the
February release.

Let me know if I've omitted any deadlines or given incorrect information.

FYI:  Five of the more complicated proposals requiring additional work now
have Jan. 10-13 deadlines.  With only a few days between those deadlines
and my Jan. 15 deadline to send you the Sec final drafts, the Sec final
drafts for those five proposals may not be ready by that Jan. 15 deadline.

Regards, Judy

Re: [RDA-L] Unknown date

Gary,

If supplying a date per 1.9.2 is not possible, then you can apply the 2nd
paragraph of 2.8.6.6:

If an approximate date of publication for a single-part resource cannot
reasonably be determined, record *date of publication not identified*.
Indicate that the information was taken from a source outside the resource
itself (see 2.2.4).

 Gary,

 The rules which you need can be found in 1.9.2 (Supplied date). Under
 1.9.2.4 (Probable range of years) there are examples like this:

 [between 1800 and 1899?]
 [between 1400 and 1600?]

 In 2.8.6.6, there is a reference to 1.9.2.

 I have searched the Toolkit and can not locate instructions for a
 situation like this one.  If a manifestation has no date of any kind,
 how is that recorded?  There are no dates associated with the author,
 so I do not have either an earliest or latest possible year.   I would
 say that based on the condition of the piece, I am able to assume a
 century.

Re: [RDA-L] 2.20.13.3.3

2013-06-27 Thread JSC Secretary
The instruction only calls for an additional note for the latest issue
consulted, not for every issue consulted.  So, if you follow the
instruction as written, you'd update the note each time you added a volume
and either confirmed that no elements in the description have changed or
you've added information about new, deleted, or changed elements.  Applying
this aspect would also be a matter either of cataloging policy or cataloger
judgment; that note is not core in RDA.  There is an LC-PCC policy
statement for that instruction.

 This answer prompts some questions for me.

 1.  Are we allowed to use, then, the more specific terms indented

 are we to use performer only, to cover all those types of situations

 use the more specific indented terms, how were we supposed to know that? I
 wasn't sure if we are allowed to use these indented terms, or if they're
 just further (and more specific) examples of what is meant by the bold
 faced code. If we can use these more specific indented terms, I think it
 might be helpful if RDA specifically said that following the definition of
 a bold faced term (or you can use these more specific terms, or
 something to that effect).  Using the example of the term author, I see
 that there are MARC relator codes for the more specific terms
 librettist[lbt] and lyricist [lyr], but there isn't a MARC code for
 screenwriter, so I would not automatically assume that I could use those
 more specific indented terms as relator terms in a |e. There also seem to
 be MARC relator codes for terms which are not named in RDA, such as Music
 copyist [mcp].  Are we able to use relationship designators or terms such
 as music copyist in a |e if they have a MARC 3-letter code, even if the
 term does not appear in RDA?

 2.  I have a print series which contains lectures, can |e performer be
 used for lecturers/speakers when the lecture is in print form?

 Subject: [RDA-L] Can Lecturer be used as a valid relator term and do you
 have a good example of a DVD + Book RDA record?

 I've searched the list and couldn't find if these questions had been
 asked before so here goes.


 1.   We are cataloging a Great Courses DVD and course guide. We have
 the lecturer and course guide author in the 100 field. What should his
 relator term be? Is $e creator sufficient? Though he isn't the creator of
 the DVD.? He is a kind of performer and author.? Using $e lecturer seems
 silly.





 The presence in the 100 field also would mean that the name would form
 part of the authorized access point for the work, but this is not
 appropriate for moving image works (Great Courses DVDs are cataloged
 primarily as moving image DVD videos, with the course guide being
 accompanying material).



 For moving images works, only the preferred title for the DVD is used
 alone for the authorized access point for the work (RDA 6.27.1.3), so the
 lecturer would not be found in the 100 field.



 As a lecturer, the person would be contributing to the expression,
 essentially as a 'performer'. In the list of designators under 'performer'
 are 'speaker' or 'teacher'. The designator ' speaker' is the best fit, as
 RDA refers specifically to the delivery of a lecture (as opposed to a
 'teacher' who is providing instructions or a demonstration).



 The lecturer is also the writer of the course guide, so that is a clear
 work relationship. Instead of a contributor to the expression, the
 lecturer is the Creator of a work, specifically an 'author.'





 Adding these two designators to the lecturer in 700 field would be the
 best fit for the two roles:



 $e speaker $e author







 2.   Related note: Can the relationship designator just be left off
 entirely?



 Yes, but the person would not be found in the 100 field because the
 description is primarily for a moving image work. A name in a 700 field
 can have designators supporting relationships to works or expressions in
 the resource, but the 100 field is reserved for allowable names that can
 form part of the authorized access point for the work.

Re: [RDA-L] RDA Update History

2013-05-21 Thread JSC Secretary
There are two categories of changes in the RDA content of the RDA Toolkit:
-- updates:  major changes resulting from approved proposals to the JSC;
-- releases:  minor changes resulting from corrections and Fast Track
entries handled by the JSC.

So far, there has been only one update of the RDA content in April 2012
for proposals from the November 2011 meeting of the JSC.  The next update
will be in July 2013 for proposals from the November 2012 meeting of the
JSC.  The revision history in the Toolkit applies only* to updates. The
final versions of the approved proposals are posted on the JSC web site as
Sec final documents in the proposal series (see the specific proposals on
the JSC web site).

Documentation of minor changes issued as releases and minor changes in the
updates are in the Sec document series.  I post and then announce on RDA-L
the Sec document for each release; the document listing the minor changes
for the May 2013 release is 6JSC/Sec/8 (
http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC-Sec-8.pdf).  Earlier minor changes are
documented in Sec/2, Sec/3, Sec/4, Sec/5, and Sec/7.  No instructions have
been renumbered since the April 2012 Update; some will be renumbered in the
July 2013 Update.

Judy K.

* Including minor changes such as correction of punctuation, change from
bold to italic, correction of typo in one word, etc., in the revision
history would definitely add to the complexity of that record.  Minor
changes such as clarifying wording, adding an example, adding a glossary
term, etc., are included for your reference in the Sec document series.

 I also happened to notice that yesterday Kevin, and I'm glad you bring it

 Toolkit also shows the latest update as April 2012.  However I do notice
 that when you're in RDA itself, if you scroll all the way down to the
 bottom of a page it says: Document Date: 5/14/2013, so it would appear as
 if the text of RDA has been updated, I'm not sure why the Toolkit hasn't
 updated the Update History.  But then again the Toolkit does a lot of
 things I don't understand, like not providing the Index to AACR2, and not
 having the LC-PCC PS icon print out if you print out an RDA rule.

 The RDA Update History seems not to be complete.  Haven't there been
 several updates to the content since it was published in June 2010?  There
 is only one update in the Update History, and that is dated April 2012.
 It is *very* helpful to have a complete history of the updates, to help
 catalogers determine if there was an actual change in a particular
 instruction, or when instruction numbers have changed, etc.  Will this
 section of the RDA Toolkit be augmented with all of the histories for
 updates that have occurred to date?

 Supplementary Materials
 LC practice: Create separate records for a main work and a supplementary

 work, or if it shows important differences in titles or statements of
 responsibility from those appearing in the main work.
 Also, catalog separately all supplements, etc., to serials except for:
 1. Indexes, and
 2. Supplements, etc., that have titles that are more like descriptions
 than true titles, or because the supplement, etc., is usable only in
 conjunction with the main work.
 Relate separately cataloged supplements, etc., to the main work following
 the guidelines in Chapter 25 (Related works).

 Serial Supplements to Other Serials
 LC practice/PCC practice: Create a separate bibliographic record for a
 serial supplement to another serial if the supplement does not update that
 related serial and carries its own designation system that is distinct and
 independent from that used by the related serial. Give a MARC 772 field for
 the related serial. In addition, provide an authorized access point for the
 related serial unless the supplement has a common title that is identical
 to the title proper of the related serial. On the bibliographic record for
 the related serial, give a MARC 770 field for the supplement.
 Other serial supplements should be noted on the bibliographic records for
 the related serials. Provide access points for the supplement whenever the
 titles are distinctive.

 Indexes to Serials
 LC practice/PCC practice: Generally indicate the presence of an index to a
 serial on the bibliographic record for the serial being indexed. If,
 however, the index is published separately and is not issued by the entity
 responsible for the serial being indexed, create a separate bibliographic
 record (monograph or serial as appropriate) for the index. Create a
 separate bibliographic record also whenever the index covers two or more
 different serials. (A serial represented by one or more descriptions (see
 RDA 1.6.2) is regarded as one serial.)

Re: [RDA-L] Abridging statement of responsibility

2013-05-13 Thread JSC Secretary
Jim,

The element being discussed is the Statement of responsibility relating to
title proper (RDA 2.4.2).  So, before you get to this element, you have
already selected the title proper.  Then, you follow 2.4.2.4:  If a
statement of responsibility relating to title proper appears on the source
of information in more than one language or script, record the statement in
the language or script of the title proper. If this criterion does not
apply, record the statement that appears first.

Also, I agree that if it takes too much time to decide which is first, I'd
go beyond the core requirement (the first) and give all.  My personal
opinion is that giving all statements in different languages/scripts is
important because the cataloger cannot know which will most serve which
user.

 Dear Judy,
   Since retiring in 2003 I have not been closely following discussions
 of RDA. It seems to me that in some cases first statement of
 responsibility will be difficult or impossible to ascertain. I do not
 think it is far-fetched it imagine: 1. A bilingual text with one
 right-to-left language (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic, Persian or Yiddish (sometimes
 called HAPI though several languages such as Urdu and Pushtu also use
 Arabic script)) and one left-to-right language (e.g. English, French,
 Russian, Greek, etc. 2. There is a title page at each end of the book. 3.
 Each contains a statement of responsibility, the author's name, in each
 language *on the same line.*  How can one determine which is the first
 statement of responsibility? One might try to determine if one language is
 a translation of the other but some authors can write in several languages
 or it may not say. In such cases it might be best to say something along
 the lines of record the first statement of responsibility when it can be
 easily determined but give several when priority can not be easily
 determined. To me, recording the extra text would seem preferable to
 making catalogers search for a way to decide which is first.

  Paul,

 RDA is actually quite clear on this matter. In this case (unlike the one I
 was talking about), it's not a complete element which is supplied, but only
 a part of it.

 The basic rule for this can also be found in 1.4 (Language and script):
 When adding data within an element listed above, record the added data in
 the language and script of the other data in the element unless the
 instructions for a specific element indicate otherwise. So, ordinarily it
 should be the same language as the rest of the element, but note the
 exception in the last part of the sentence.

 There is indeed a specific instruction for your case in 2.4.1.5 (Statement
 naming more than one person, etc.):
 Optional Omission:
 If a single statement of responsibility names more than three persons,
 families, or corporate bodies performing the same function, or with the
 same degree of responsibility, omit all but the first of each group of such
 persons, families, or bodies. Indicate the omission by summarizing what has
 been omitted in the language and script preferred by the agency preparing
 the description. Indicate that the summary was taken from a source outside
 the resource itself as instructed under 2.2.4.

 So, if the library in question has decided to use English as its preferred
 language, than the [and twelve others] or such also has to be in English.
 My personal explanation for this is that the [and twelve others] is seen
 rather as something like a note (which traditionally is recorded in the
 language of the agency), and not as a different way of transcribing the
 statement of responsibility.

 I'm not really happy with this language mixture myself. And it doesn't
 really fit in with a rule like 1.7.5 (Symbols): Replace symbols and other
 characters, etc., that cannot be reproduced by the facilities available
 with a description of the symbol enclosed in square brackets. Here, there
 is no specific instruction, so according to the rules you must describe the
 symbol in the language of the resource, although this will certainly often
 be difficult for catalogers.

 Maybe there should at least be an option in 2.4.1.5 to use the language of
 the resource instead of the language of the agency.

 Paul Davey
  daveyp...@tiscali.co.uk



 In RDA 1.4, we read: When recording an element listed above as a
 supplied element, record the supplied element in the most appropriate
 language and script. (The elements listed are those that are normally
 transcribed more or less exactly in the bibliographic description.)

 Now I was wondering what might be a good policy for the most
 appropriate language. The LC-PCC PS for 1.4 doesn't comment on this
 point, although I think there can easily be different opinions as to
 what is most appropriate.

 For instance, according to AACR2 (1.4C6.), the probable place of
 publication, distribution etc. is to be given in the English form of
 name if there is one, whereas the German RAK rules (§ 144,3) call for
 giving such a place if possible, in its original language form. So,
 you'd have to use Florence according to AACR2, but Firenze according
 to RAK.

 The example given in AACR2 1.4C6. is [Munich?], and this example is
 still there in RDA 2.8.2.6.2. But taking into account that RDA examples
 are not prescriptive, but illustrative only, I think that RDA 1.4 would
 also make it possible to write [München?], if one believes the
 original language form to be the most appropriate.

Re: [RDA-L] Statement of responsibility naming more than three persons etc.

2013-02-06 Thread JSC Secretary
Dear RDA-L people,

After an email conversation with Barbara, I'm writing with some additional
information, making the distinction between transcribing information in a
statement of responsibility and giving authorized access points for
responsible entities. [Barbara is traveling and typing long messages on her
phone is not easy.)

RDA doesn't say you can choose what you give in the statement of
responsibility for the title proper.  The basic instruction is to
transcribe the complete statement. The optional omission at 2.4.1.5 is the
AACR2 rule:  if more than three, record the first and then a summarizing
phrase.

However, you can choose which entities to include in 7XX authorized access
points in a MARC bibliographic record; those access points do not need to
be justified in a transcribed element or by a note.

Also, as Barbara wrote, a change to RDA can be proposed to the JSC.

 I've noted that the optional omission in 2.4.1.4 says Always record the
 first name appearing in a statement. This sounds as if it were possible to
 leave out e.g. all names after the fifth. But on the other hand there is an
 explicit reference to 2.4.1.5: When omitting names from a statement of

  After all this talk about German cataloging, I suppose it's time to get

 The other day we discussed the optional omission for statements of
 responsibility naming more than three persons, etc. (RDA 2.4.1.5). The
 general feeling was that although everybody ought to try and follow the
 standard rule (i.e. transcribe all names), it should be possible to use the
 optional omission for very long lists, if transcribung all names simply
 cannot be accomplished. I assume that a very similar idea is expressed in
 the LC-PCC-PS for 2.4.1.5 in the word generally (Generally do not omit
 names in a statement of responsibility).

 But I'm not happy that the only alternatives are either all names
 (standard rule) or only the first name (option). Why shouldn't it be
 equally possible to transcribe, say, the first three, five or ten names and
 then put [and x others]? This might be a more satisfactory way of dealing
 with longish lists than reducing them to only one name.

 Of course I'm aware of the fact that the only first name rule
 corresponds to AACR2. But still, I can see no reason why there shouldn't be
 more flexibility here.

 Am I the only one who feels like this?

Ben,

Re:  Finally--I certainly agree with you about DVD's, and I don't really
think RDA content/media/carrier vocabularies improve upon that situation.
 If anything they go backwards--under AACR2 it was common to code the 300
$a as 1 CD-ROM or 1 DVD-ROM, but under RDA we're supposed to record
the extent of the resource by giving the number of units and an appropriate
term for the type of carrier which leads us to record 1 computer disc.
 The only way I've figured out to indicate DVD vs Blu-Ray or CD-ROM
vs DVD-ROM is with a note.

You can say 1 CD-ROM or 1 DVD-ROM.  See RDA 3.4.1.5, condition c).

 I think that if content type is meant to categorize the fundamental form
 of communication in which the content is expressed and the human sense
 through which it is intended to be perceived then none of the existing
 content type express the fact that ludic material is meant to be
 perceived through interaction.  Text implies static content (and
 anyways not all game are textual in nature--have you ever played Set?  If
 not, I recommend it for any cataloger--in fact, I use it my cataloging
 class to demonstrate what facets are.)

 It also occurs to me that RDA 6.9.1.3 states,  Record as many [content
 type] terms as are applicable to the resource being described  so a
 computer game, for example, could be described:

 336 $a computer $b c $2 rdacontent
 336 $a interactive $b i $2 rdacontent


 Finally--I certainly agree with you about DVD's, and I don't really think
 RDA content/media/carrier vocabularies improve upon that situation.  If
 anything they go backwards--under AACR2 it was common to code the 300 $a as
 1 CD-ROM or 1 DVD-ROM, but under RDA we're supposed to record the
 extent of the resource by giving the number of units and an appropriate
 term for the type of carrier which leads us to record 1 computer disc.
  The only way I've figured out to indicate DVD vs Blu-Ray or CD-ROM
 vs DVD-ROM is with a note.

 In any case this is an interesting discussion, so thank you.

 I'm not sure it seems to me like less direct or less usual, probably
 depends on the environment (maybe in a public library it's a usual
 question?). But at any rate.

 You can't do that with AACR2/MARC GMDs/SMDs either, can you?

 Perhaps the right place to record something to answer this question is
 actually in a 6xx/LCSH $v form/genre heading?

 I know LC is doing work on revising the LCSH form/genre heading thesaurus
 too -- like I said, this is a difficult thing to make a generalizable
 taxonomy for. Perhaps that's the right place for there to be a 'games'
 heading (entered in a 655), as 'game' is really more of a 'genre' having to
 do with the content and the author's intentions for it's use, than it is a
 form/format/carrier having to do with the physical properties of the item,
 that the RDA vocabularies we're talking about focus on.

 This stuff is really tricky to encompass with standardized shareable
 general and universal vocabularies, it's probably not possible to do so
 completely (and nothing libraries have tried yet comes close either. For
 instance, trying to display or limit by whether an item is a DVD (let
 alone blue-ray vs standard dvd!), which seems to me to be a VERY common
 user need in contemporary libraries accross communities and types (public
 as well as academic) --  is a somewhat herculean task with our legacy
 metadata).



Re: [RDA-L] Content type (RDA 6.9) clarification

2012-10-19 Thread JSC Secretary
Dear May,

You're correct; the content type should be in subfield $h and not enclosed
in parentheses. The mistake in that slide is my error. I'll post a
corrected version on the JSC web site.

Thanks, Judy Kuhagen

 I’m hoping someone well versed in RDA can help me with this.

 The following slide comes from Module 3 from the Georgia Public Library

 The slide indicates that the access point for content type is to coded in
 subfield $h (which I’m presuming is X00$h or X30$h)

 If this is the case, why is “spoken word” given in parentheses as a
 qualifying element? I would expect something more like:

 X30 $a ___ .$h Spoken word OR

 X00 $a ___ .$t. $h Spoken word

 Also, why is the MARC21 label for this subfield called “medium”? Wouldn’t
 it be more consistent to call it “content type”?

[RDA-L] New representatives appointed to the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC)

2012-10-18 Thread JSC Secretary
Two new members have been appointed by their constituencies to the JSC:  Gordon
Dunsire and Bill Leonard.  Gordon represents CILIP (Chartered Institute of
Library and Information Professionals); the CILIP position in the JSC had
been vacant this past year.  Bill represents the Canadian Committee on
Cataloguing; he is the successor to Marg Stewart, a long-time member of the
JSC and former JSC Secretary, who recently retired from Library and
Archives Canada.



More information about the two new members is given below. Contact
information for them is available at the *JSC members
listing*http://www.rda-jsc.org/members.html
.



= = = = =



Gordon is an independent consultant and former Head of the Centre for
Digital Library Research at the University of Strathclyde. He has been a
member of the CILIP-BL Committee on RDA since 2003, and of the RDA Outreach
Group since 2005. He has contributed to several important meetings for the
development of RDA, including the International Conference on the
Principles and Future Development of AACR, Toronto, 1997, the RDA/ONIX
workshop, London, 2005, and the Data Model meeting on RDA and Semantic Web
communities, London, 2007. Users of the RDA/ONIX Framework for Resource
Categorization will know Gordon as the facilitator for its development. He
is particularly well-known in Scotland as a member of the committee of the
Cataloguing and Indexing Group in Scotland, and as E-Services Officer of
the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in
Scotland.



Recently he has been involved in the development of the International
Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) and Functional Requirements (FR)
family of models maintained by the International Federation of Library
Associations and Institutions (IFLA), as well as the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative. He was also a co-author of the final report of the W3C Library
Linked Data Incubator Group.



Currently Gordon is contributing to the revision of alignments between ISBD
and RDA, and researching and developing Semantic Web mappings between major
bibliographic schemas and vocabularies, including RDA, ISBD, the FR models,
MARC 21, UNIMARC, and Dublin Core. He continues to give presentations to
international conferences and contribute papers to professional journals on
topics associated with cataloguing standards, universal bibliographic
control, and linked data.



= = = = =



Bill Leonard graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1990.  His
first position was as a government documents cataloguer at the National
Library of Canada (now Library and Archives Canada).  Bill left NLC to
pursue an archivist position in his hometown of Calgary after which he
returned to Ottawa to work at the Canada Institute for Scientific and
Technical Information as a cataloguer, system librarian, and team leader.



Bill rejoined Library and Archives Canada (LAC ) in 2002 as an Information
Standards Specialist which marked the beginning of his significant
involvement with national and international standards development. Bill has
contributed to the development and maintenance of ISO TC46 standards and is
the Chair of the Canadian mirror committee for ISO TC46.  In addition, Bill
is LAC's  representative to the MARC Advisory Committee as well as to the
Canadian Committee on MARC.  As a member of the RDA/MARC Working Group,
Bill participated in the activity to revise MARC 21 to accommodate RDA and
he will continue to act as the liaison to the MARC community on RDA-related
issues.



Bill is very well-known within the Canadian cataloguing community and was
welcomed by the Canadian Committee on Cataloguing as its representative to
the JSC.

Re: [RDA-L] RDA Music Joint Working Group

2012-09-23 Thread JSC Secretary
Dear Jean and other colleagues,

When RDA was being developed, there was not consensus in the music
cataloging communities within the author countries about how to revise the
AACR2 special rules on music to make them be more principle-based, to
reflect the FRBR Group 1 entities, to reflect appropriate relationships,
etc. As a consequence, most of those special rules were just moved from
AACR2 to RDA. The JSC knew that more work was needed in this area.

Since the release of RDA, there have been a few revisions to RDA music
instructions. The goal of this new working group is to identify and propose
more far-ranging revisions to RDA music instructions; they will make joint
proposals for music cataloging communities both within and outside the
author countries to consider for the ongoing development of RDA for these
resources.

[RDA-L] JSC web site not available

2012-06-25 Thread JSC Secretary
The website of the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC)
has not been available since mid-June.  Below is a portion of a message
from the information technology people at the American Library Association;
I'm including it in this message with the permission of staff at ALA
Publishing.  When the JSC website is available, I'll send another
announcement to this list.

On Sunday June 17st during a hardware upgrade, our web site host provider
dreamhost experienced a massive hardware failure on the server hosting the
JSC website. In addition there are also issues with the backup server as
well further delaying the restore from a backup file. At this time, they
are migrating all data to a new server. The server has a massive amount of
data, so this process will take some time. So far we do not have an
estimated timeline form the hosting company when this server will be back
online.
