FYI, forwarding this post. I may be of particular interest to those involved with cataloging and digital media projects.
Nell Chenault VCU Libraries ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Leggett, Stephen C <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 2:21 PM Subject: [AMIA-Member-L] BIBFRAME To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Posting on behalf of Andrea Leigh. Contact her with any questions. ====================================================================================== I would like to share a recent study on audio-visual materials and content (both recorded sound and moving image) in the context of the BIBFRAME initiative. The original announcement, as posted on the BIBFRAME listserv, has been copied at the end of this message and includes a link to the webpage where the report may be found. This study will likely be of interest to those of you concerned with the description of moving images and sound recordings. This work also ties in with goals mentioned in recommendation 3.3 of the National Recording Preservation Plan. We would like to encourage discussion about descriptive data needs for audio-visual content and materials at this early stage of BIBFRAME development, and hope this study can serve as a common starting point for that discussion across various communities. Some information about BIBFRAME The following text comes from the BIBFRAME website's FAQ page ( http://www.loc.gov/bibframe/faqs/): "BIBFRAME Initiative is the foundation for the future of bibliographic description that happens on the web and in the networked world. It is designed to integrate with and engage in the wider information community and still serve the very specific needs of libraries.... Although the BIBFRAME Initiative will instantiate a new way to represent and exchange bibliographic data - that is, replace the Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) format - its scope is broader. As an initiative, it is investigating all aspects of bibliographic description, data creation, and data exchange. In addition to replacing the MARC format, this includes accommodating different content models and cataloging rules, exploring new methods of data entry, and evaluating current exchange protocols." More information about BIBFRAME may be found at http://www.loc.gov/bibframe/.

Culpeper, VA 22701 [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just posted on the BIBFRAME (BF) web site is a study carried out by Audiovisual Preservation Solutions for the Library of Congress concerning an appropriate model for AV material and relating that to the BF model: BIBFRAME AV Modeling Study: Defining a Flexible Model for Description of Audiovisual Resources< http://www.loc.gov/bibframe/pdf/bibframe-avmodelingstudy-may15-2014.pdf>. It discusses the special characteristics of AV material that make it different from textual and other media and makes some general recommendations. With the increasing impact of AV as information resources and the need to preserve material in those media, special attention to it is appropriate as we develop BIBFRAME. This report was carried out in close consultation with the Library of Congress's National Audiovisual Conservation Center (NAVCC) staff in Culpeper, Virginia, a vast archive that preserves and serves AV resources. The report examines a number of proposed community models such as FRBR/RDA, FIAF, OLAC, indecs, Variations, PBCore, EBUCore and others that inform the analysis. The recommendations will become considerations for the BF model development as there are various ways the special attributes of these media could be accommodated. The report is composed of a base document (the analysis, AV model, and recommendations) with appendices that give more detail about situations encountered with AV material. As usual, comments, concerns, and discussion are encouraged via the BIBFRAME listserv (see the BIBFRAME home page/contacts< http://www.loc.gov/bibframe/contact/index.html>) or direct to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> . -------------------------------------------- *** You are subscribed to AMIA-MEMBER as [email protected].

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
