Think Again!

4. Cataloging vs Metadata
Are the both same thing?

5. Cataloging!
Descriptive
Describe bibliographic information
of information sources
Books
Serials
CDs/DVDs
E-Resources
Online Resources
Stickily follow instructions & rules as per code
AACR2
ISBD
RDA

6. Cataloging!Subjective
Assigned subjects & subject
headings as per standards
LCSH
SLSH
Assigned Call Numbers & Cutter or Author MARC
DDC
LCC
NLM
Cutter

7. Metadata!
• Title of a book
• Length of a feature film
• Date of publication
Data about
data
Usually an
information object
– that bring us to
other information,
it could be a DOI
or hyperlink

8. Metadata!
It's mainly associated with a distributed network environment such as
internet.
Metadata elements grouped are called metadata schemes.
For every element the name and the semantics (the meaning of the
element) are specified.
Content rules, representation rules, element values can be specified
optionally.
Some schemes also specify in which syntax the elements must be
encoded, in contrast to syntax independent schemes.

9. Metadata!
Many different metadata schemes are being developed as standards
across disciplines, such as library science, education, archiving, e-
commerce, and arts.
Three types; descriptive, structural, and administrative
Descriptive: Discovery or identification of resource with elements such
as title, abstract, author and keywords.
Structural: How compound objects are put together. It describes the
types, versions, relationships and other characteristics of digital
materials.
Administrative: Provides information to help manage a resource, such
as when and how it was created, file type and other technical
information, and who can access it.

10. MARC Librarianship
MARC - MAchine Readable Cataloging - standards for the representation
and communication of bibliographic and related information in
machine-readable form.
METS Librarianship
Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard - an XML schema for
encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding
objects within a digital library.
MODS Librarianship
Metadata Object Description Schema - is a schema for a bibliographic
element set that may be used for a variety of purposes, and particularly
for library applications.
XOBIS Librarianship
XML Organic Bibliographic Information Schema - a XML schema for
modeling MARC data.
Dublin
Core
Networked
resources
Dublin Core - interoperable online metadata standard focused on
networked resources.
DOI
Networked
resources
Digital Object Identifier - provides a system for the identification and
hence management of information ("content") on digital networks,
providing persistence and semantic interoperability.

15. Cataloging and Metadata are not the same
thing, and this is an important distinction.
Cataloging is a set of
instructions & content
standard.
These rules outlined what
information should be in a
record, how to phrase that
information, and how to
deal with situations.
Also setup the
access points for
authors,
conference
name, series, etc.

16. Cataloging and Metadata are not the same
thing, and this is an important distinction.
Metadata is a
transmission standard.
Metadata make catalog
records computer-
readable
Metadata is a way of
formatting that language
into a structure a
computer could process.
MARC record or
Metadata does not
follow the rules of
AACR2

18. MARC Terms

19. MARC Terms
Subfield is distribution of field – fields within field.
Subfield code identify content of subfield
Delimiter is a dollar or double + symbol that joined subfields with a field through
subfield code – Mark start of subfield.
Indicator is one-digit code that provides information to the computer about a variable
field – Tell Computer how to work with field.
A tag is a tree-digit identifier of a field – Identify what is in field.
A field is like a cataloguing area – Contain data

22. RDA – Resource Description & Access
Cataloguing code
A flexible framework for content description of
digital resources and emerging database technologies
A means to reach Internet users
Also serves the needs of traditional resources
Primarily used by librarians and libraries

23. RDA – Resource Description & Access
Designed to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition Revised
(AACR2) by the Joint Steering Committee including ALA, LOC, ACOC, cilip, CCC
Issued in 2010 as part of the RDA Toolkit, a subscription-based online product
(www.rdatoolkit.org) also available in loose-leaf format.
A structure based on the conceptual model of FRBR (Functional Requirement for
Bibliographic Records) based on WEMI (Works, Expressions, Manifestations, Items)
It’s designed for everyone, not for Anglos and Americans.
Pretty different from AACR2

24. AACR2 vs RDA

25. New Vocabulary
AACR2 RDA
Chief Source of Information Preferred source of information
Area Element
Main entry Preferred access point
Added entry Access point
Uniform title Preferred title for a work
Heading Authorized access point
See references Variant access point

26. Principles
Transcribe what you see
• Fewer abbreviations, more words
• Misspellings are transcribed as written, then
explained in a note or an alternate title (246 field)
Accept what you get

27. Accept the record as it is – save the time
of cataloger

28. Abbreviations Eliminated!

29. Misspellings & Punctuation

30. Parallel Titles and Sources for Statement
of Responsibility

31. Rules of 3 is gone!
Rules for edition

32. Change in Terminologies & Approximate
Date of Publication

35. RDA Important Fields
 Fixed field portion with code I = ISBD
 Fixed field portion with code A = AACR2
 040 field = a master record.
 040 field with subfield E with abbreviation RDA = RDA record
 040 field with subfield B with abbreviation eng = this record
was created by an English language library for an English
speaking audience
 Field 264 replaces 260 and is repeatable
 Field 336 – 337 -338 content, media, & carrier type

38. Hybrid Records
One thing to remember is that RDA
records are compatible with AACR2
records it is not necessary to go back and
convert or re-catalog AACR2 records to
RDA even so in OCLC’s WorldCat database
it is permitted even encouraged to add
RDA features to AARC2 records.
AACR records which have had some RDA
features added are called hybrid records

39. "MARC Must Die"
Roy Tennat, 2002

40. BIBFRAME
[BIB]liographic [FRAME]work
 Linked data vocabulary
 Replace MARC
 Express bibliographic relationship
 Engage library data with the web
 Return to a syndetic structure of bibliographic entities that
colocation and true discovery

42. When to BIBFRAME?
 Not yet
 Not even really soon
 But you can test it out
 www.loc.gov/bibframe
 www.Bibframe.org

43. Romanization
