The document discusses opportunities for enriching metadata in the Official RDA Toolkit. It provides background on extension plans, representative expressions, and data provenance. An example is given of recording an extension plan and representative expression for a multi-volume work. The extension plan vocabulary and representative expression elements are shown as ways to enrich RDA descriptions through structured, encoded values.

Over the past eight years we’ve adapted and updated our in-house training, and I’ll also talk about how we decide what to teach colleagues, and how we try to make the best use of staff time to keep skills up when cataloguing is one of many competing priorities and shared across several teams. Between staff turnover and COVID lockdowns and service changes, we are starting almost from scratch in building a pool of staff who can catalogue the material our suppliers can’t provide records for, which is an excellent time to take stock of what our cataloguing needs are, and advocate for the importance of creating and upgrading good quality records and why we need to build these skills in-house.

Poster: The West Midlands Evidence Repository (WMER) : a regional collaborati...CILIP MDG
The West Midlands Evidence Repository (WMER) was born from a pre-pandemic recognition by managers of Knowledge and Library Services (KLSs) of 8 NHS Trusts in the West Midlands region of the need for a repository. This was to replace existing provision, or recognition of national priorities or local needs to record, collect, and share research, as well as potential for sharing patient information leaflets or guidelines. Some managers and services had previous experience of repositories, as well as being part of a national pilot. WMER, however, represented a new start for all to work in collaboration to establish a new service. The consortium would enable sharing of both costs and experience.
Initially, different repository suppliers were investigated by the KLS that had had a long-established repository, taking on board the experience of the group from the national pilot. The Atmire Open Repository platform was chosen as it met the consortium’s needs and had a proven track record of other collaborative repositories in the NHS. Financing was taken on by one Trust and the on-boarding was led in partnership between that Trust and the Trust that had undertaken the initial investigation.
With the initial on-boarding completed and the test server set-up, the group took a step back to ensure they worked together as a collaborative going forward. Collaborative work between the KLSs was facilitated by the formal creation of two groups, a Managers Group for overall approval and financial decision making and an Operational Group handling the setup and administration of the repository for the consortium. The Operational Group is led by the service with most experience of managing repositories and the lead of it acts as liaison between the two groups, with each group having representation from the eight organisations. Learning from other regional collaborations the Future NHS site was used as a collaborative workspace and Teams as the main means of communication.
The setup of the repository was completed on time after three months. There was initially a steep learning curve for all, especially the Operational Group who undertook this process. The group identified key metadata and metadata standards for the repository, including the use of ORCIDs and the use of Wessex Classification as a controlled vocabulary. The setup process was facilitated by the collaborative nature of the project as the variety of experience in the group was a great benefit. It should be noted support from the suppliers was specifically related to technical support only.
The collaborative nature of the project also allowed work to be shared, and tasks were given to members to be undertaken independently. However, a downside of collaborative projects is that decisions can take longer to be inclusive...

The Wessex Classification Scheme was created by healthcare librarians in the South West of England, and was loosely based on the US National Library of Medicine classification. The scheme is widely used in healthcare libraries across the UK, both inside and outside the NHS. Although the scheme has gone through several revisions, there has been no major update since 2015, so the Wessex Classification Scheme Oversight Group was formed in September 2022 with the support of NHS England. The group aims to bring knowledge and skills from UK health library networks to improve the scheme and offers a chance for participants to develop skills in working with classification and subject indexing, and the opportunity to network widely. By forming a working group, it ensures the longevity of the scheme and shares the maintenance work more widely.
Initially, members were asked which parts of the scheme they felt needed updating the most and sub-groups were formed for LGBTQ+ issues and gender identity (the Pride sub-group), Ethnicity and Race, and Learning Disability and Neurodiversity (the LDN sub-group) as well as a smaller team working on ‘quick and simple’ updates....

Ship[w]right[e]s? : the challenges of cataloguing reports from scientific exp...CILIP MDG
Reports from scientific expeditions represent an important class of bibliographic object held by libraries of natural history institutions. They are, as is increasingly being understood, important as both scientific records providing crucial context for specimen collections, but also as historical documents of the history of empire and colonialisation. At the Natural History Museum, London (NHM) we hold reports and other documentation relating to many of the most significant expeditions from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. In this short paper I would like to draw out some of the issues faced when cataloguing these works from three angles: descriptive cataloguing, subject cataloguing, and authority control. I will consider questions of dependent and independent titles, ships as corporate bodies and other entity relationships, form/genre headings, geographic headings and LCSH.

“From 1st January 2024, Adlib will no longer be supported or maintained by Axiell.” This statement acted as the catalyst for action, enabling the release of resources to implement significant changes to the BFI Reuben Library’s record structure, which in turn prompted a deeper look into our current cataloguing practices and future requirements.
Upgrading to Axiell Collections will allow the library to implement new RDA more fully – we had previously adopted some aspects but not all – and, importantly, it will allow us to better align our data structure with that of the organisation’s other collections, making it easier to manage and making it compatible with further planned system developments. By the time of the conference in September we will be cataloguing to an under the bonnet Work – Expression – Manifestation – Item (WEMI) record hierarchy and new cataloguing guidelines.
Having watched all the webinars available, having read every piece of documentation which seemed relevant, having spent hours reading and re-reading the contents of the RDA Toolkit we are currently working on the last stages of our application profile whilst still debating issues around putting the theory into practice, especially in the area of aggregates and diachronic works. I do not suggest I have all the answers, far from it, but by sharing the story of our journey, that of a medium sized non-academic library of specialist mostly print collections and illustrating it with practical examples I hope my presentation will be of use to others currently travelling a similar path.

Since 2013, Resource Description and Access (RDA) has been the chief cataloguing standard used in the United States. In 2019, the RDA Steering Committee previewed a new version of the RDA Toolkit, which introduced substantial changes, such as replacing instructions with a series of options, adding new concepts such as “nomens” and “diachronic works,” and replacing the prior organisation with a broader intellectual framework. This revised Toolkit became the official RDA Toolkit in December 2020, with major cataloguing bodies planning to adopt it in the coming years. Some cataloguers have expressed concerns regarding the official RDA Toolkit, particularly around cost and training required to learn the new standard.
In response to these concerns, the RBMS RDA Editorial Group, a group of volunteers from the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Rare Books and Manuscripts Section, developed a new manual, Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (RDA Edition). DCRMR is informed by core principles of community and sustainability while employing open-access publication models and infrastructure. Designed in response to community feedback, it presents instructions in cataloguing workflow order using clear language while remaining aligned to the official RDA Toolkit and RDA element sets. The manual was approved in February 2022 in its first iteration and continues to be actively developed and updated. This presentation will discuss why the editorial group created an open and free manual; the process and tools for creating the manual, including the use of GitHub to publish a cataloguing standard; and outcomes to date.

Initially, different repository suppliers were investigated by the KLS that had had a long-established repository, taking on board the experience of the group from the national pilot. The Atmire Open Repository platform was chosen as it met the consortium’s needs and had a proven track record of other collaborative repositories in the NHS. Financing was taken on by one Trust and the on-boarding was led in partnership between that Trust and the Trust that had undertaken the initial investigation.
With the initial on-boarding completed and the test server set-up, the group took a step back to ensure they worked together as a collaborative going forward. Collaborative work between the KLSs was facilitated by the formal creation of two groups, a Managers Group for overall approval and financial decision making and an Operational Group handling the setup and administration of the repository for the consortium. The Operational Group is led by the service with most experience of managing repositories and the lead of it acts as liaison between the two groups, with each group having representation from the eight organisations. Learning from other regional collaborations the Future NHS site was used as a collaborative workspace and Teams as the main means of communication.
The setup of the repository was completed on time after three months. There was initially a steep learning curve for all, especially the Operational Group who undertook this process. The group identified key metadata and metadata standards for the repository, including the use of ORCIDs and the use of Wessex Classification as a controlled vocabulary. The setup process was facilitated by the collaborative nature of the project as the variety of experience in the group was a great benefit. It should be noted support from the suppliers was specifically related to technical support only.
The collaborative nature of the project also allowed work to be shared, and tasks were given to members to be undertaken independently. However, a downside of collaborative projects is that decisions can take longer to be inclusive...

Authority of assertion in repository contributions to the PID graph / George ...CILIP MDG
The principles surrounding Linked Open Data and their implementation within digital libraries are well understood. Such implementations may be challenging, but successes are now well documented and continue to demonstrate the benefits of disseminating and enriching existing metadata with improved semantics and relational associations. Often facilitated in machine-readability enhancements to metadata by harnessing serializations of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and its reliance of URIs, these LOD approaches have ensured digital libraries, and similar GLAMR initiatives elsewhere, contribute to the growing knowledge graphs associated with the wider semantic web by declaring statements of fact about web entities. Within open scholarly ecosystems a growing use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) to define and link scholarly entities has emerged, e.g., DOIs, ORCIDs, etc. The requirement for greater URI persistence has been motivated by several developments within the scholarly space; suffice to state that, when combined with appropriate structured data, PIDs can support improvements to resource discovery, as well as facilitate contributions to the ‘PID graph’ – a scholarly data graph describing and declaring associative relations between scholarly entities.
While the increased adoption of PIDs has the potential to transform scholarship, ensuring that these PIDs are used appropriately, encoded correctly within metadata, and that all relevant relational associations between scholarly entities are declared presents challenges. This is especially true within open scholarly repositories, from where many contributions to the PID graph will be made but – unlike many LOD contexts – from where the authority to assert specific relations may not always exist. Such declarations need to demonstrate reliability and provenance and are central to the interlinking of heterogeneous textual objects, datasets, software, research instruments, equipment, and the related PIDs these items may generate, such as for people, organizations, or other abstract entities.
This paper will explore the issues that arise when levels of authority to assert are lacking or are uncertain, and review results from a related study exploring the ‘PID literacy’ of scholars...
Paper presented at the Metadata & Discovery Group Conference & RDA Day (6th - 8th Sept 2023 at IET Austin Court, Birmingham)
ISNI : a persistent identifier for creatives and associated organizations / T...CILIP MDG
Recent interest in persistent identifiers (PIDs) within the research and library sectors is bringing discussions about the adoption of standards – such as ISNI and DOI, and other ID schemes such as ORCID, Ringgold, ROR, CrossRef, etc. – to the fore, casting a spotlight on the PIDs already in use and their relationships to one another. In its capacity as a bridging identifier and a critical component in Linked Data applications, clearly ISNI has a major part to play in these discussions.
With a view to explaining the benefits of ISNIs for researchers, academic and scholarly publishers, institutions, funders, and other stakeholders – including information about ISNI’s centrally-managed database and the curation functions carried out by its direct data contributors – ISNI-IA continues to promulgate the ISNI standard within the research and library sectors, showing not only the importance of using ISNIs, but also the strength and quality of data that can be achieved when research identifiers operate collaboratively.
This presentation will be an opportunity for those in the library and research community to learn about progress with the ISNI standard to date, within the library, research, and publishing sectors and beyond!
Attendees will learn about:
• What the ISNI standard is.
• How the ISNI standard interacts with other identifiers.
• The benefits of ISNIs for the research sector.
• The level of adoption across the sectors that ISNI represents (including the library, music, publishing, research, and entertainment sectors).
• Upcoming ISNI projects (including the National Library of Finland’s ongoing project in collaboration with 5 prominent Copyright Management Organizations).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

5. Overview (4)
Official RDA Toolkit offers means of achieving enriched metadata by
describing:
• Extension Plan
• Representative Expressions
• Data Provenance
6. Extension Plan: Background (1)
extension plan
A categorization that reflects an intention to extend the content of a work.
Resources > Glossary
A diachronic work is a work that is planned to be embodied over time, rather than in a single act of
publication. When the plan is carried out, the content of the work changes over time by being realized
by one or more discrete expressions that are embodied by one or more manifestations.
The essence of a diachronic work is a plan for the change of content.
An extension plan describes the intended method for extending the content of a work through time.
Guidance > Diachronic works
7. Extension Plan: Background (2)
Extension attributes
The RDA/ONIX Framework uses three attributes that provide basic categories for extension plans:
Extension requirement
Extension mode
Extension termination
Guidance > Content and carrier > Extension plans
8. Extension Plan: Background (3)
Extension requirement
The extension requirement attribute distinguishes a diachronic work from a static work.
A value of not applicable is associated with a static work.
A value of essential is associated with a diachronic work if the extension of content is required to
sustain the integrity of the work. If the extension plan is not completed, the work loses integrity.
A value of inessential is associated with a diachronic work if the extension of content is not required to
sustain the integrity of the work. If the extension plan terminates, the previous iterations of the work
retain integrity.
9. Extension Plan: Background (4)
Extension mode
The extension mode attribute describes a method that is used to extend the content.
A value of integration is associated with a diachronic work that uses replacement to extend the content.
A value of succession is associated with a diachronic work that uses accumulation to extend the content.
10. Extension Plan: Background (5)
Extension termination
The extension termination attribute describes the expected duration of the timespan to extend the
content.
A value of determinate is associated with a diachronic work that has a predetermined end for the
extension of content.
A value of indeterminate is associated with a diachronic work that does not have a predetermined end
for the extension of content.

22. Representative Expressions: Background (1)
representative expression
An expression that is considered a canonical source of data for identifying a work.
Resources > Glossary
The IFLA library reference model treats as equal all expressions that realize a work. However, certain
characteristics of an expression are considered to best represent the intention of the creators of the work. A
representative expression that has these characteristics may be assumed to be an original or canonical
realization of the work. Manifestations that embody representative expressions may be the specific target
of a search using RDA data. There may be two or more expressions that can be treated as a representative
expression of a work, and an expression does not need to be extant to be a representative expression.
RDA specifies which expression elements are considered significant for the description and distinction of
works and provides a corresponding set of work elements.
Guidance > Representative expressions

32. Data Provenance: Background (1)
data provenance
Information about the metadata recorded in an element or set of elements.
Metadata about metadata, or metametadata.
Resources > Glossary
Data provenance provides information about the metadata that is recorded in an element or set of elements. This information
can be used to infer the context and quality of the metadata.
Guidance > Data provenance
33. Data Provenance: Background (2)
The metadata being described by data provenance is treated as a metadata work that consists of a metadata statement or a
metadata description set.
For example, a descriptive catalogue record is a set of statements about a specific information resource that often includes
subsets of statements for the work, expression, manifestation, and item that constitute the resource. The catalogue record is a
metadata work that is realized in a specific encoding scheme and embodied by a carrier such as a microfiche or online
manifestation…
A single metadata statement is a metadata work in itself. It is in turn part of a larger metadata work that consists of multiple
metadata statements about one or more entities. Ultimately, every metadata description set is part of a larger metadata work
that is the set of all metadata statements about all entities.

49. Opportunities for Enrichment: Analysis
The Official RDA Toolkit’s options for enriched resource discovery support:
• selection policy for and inventory control of diachronic resources based on their
anticipated development over time
• identification and selection of resources based on their original or canonical
characteristics
• contextualization and quality assessment of cataloguing metadata at broad and
narrow levels
This presentation looks at various opportunities which the new RDA Toolkit offers in terms of achieving cataloguing enrichment. Examples of application are presented both in terms of entity relationship modelling and MARC 21 encoding.
Let’s look at what the new RDA Toolkit says about extension plans first
Underpinning the categories of extension plan expressed in RDA are three attributes used in the RDA/ONIX Framework.
Some of the language used in these attributes reoccurs in RDA’s labels for categories of extension plan.
And here are those categories expressed as a vocabulary encoding scheme.
The definitions for each are as follows:
How does this work in practical terms? Here is an example of a resource entity to be described: a multivolume, textual work entitled “A History of Britain” by the author Simon Schama published in three parts between 2000 and 2002.
We will choose the successive determinate plan as an as the extension plan which describes our resource entity.
The concept of extension plan set out by the new RDA Toolkit is not equivalent to the concept mode of issuance set out by the original Toolkit. In the original Toolkit, mode of issuance was an element which conflated the notion of whether a resource consisted of one or more parts with whether or not it was subject to updating. In the new Toolkit mode of issuance is only used to reflect whether a resource is a single unit or, as in this example, a multiple unit.
Another form of enrichment can be achieved through recording representative expression characteristics using the new RDA Toolkit.
And here is a list of characteristics which may be used to specify a representative expression.
Lets return to our resource entity.
We’re going to record the element content type of representative expression to specify an original or canonical aspect of this work.
In this case the value assigned for content type of representative expression is “text”
The element content type of representative expression is, in this case, the same as the content type for the expression which is being described.
However, it serves to differentiate from other expressions of the same work which do not share the same content type. In this case the content type for the expression being described would be “spoken word” rather than “text”. As an audiobook edition, the expression described could be regarded as a derivative of the written word original.
The next form of enrichment we’re going to look at is data provenance.
And here is a list of characteristics which may be used to record data provenance.
Back to our resource entity
We’re going to record an aspect of data provenance which relates to a metadata description set, or catalogue record, as a whole. .
And this is the characteristic we will be recording.
The element note on metadata work is defined as follows in the new RDA Toolkit:
In the case of this metadata description set, or catalogue record, the note on metadata work tells as that it started our as a CIP record.
Now we’re going to do something different. We’re going to record an aspect of data provenance which relates to individual metadata statements, or elements, which form part of a catalogue record.
And this is the characteristic we will be recording.
The element source consulted is defined in the new RDA Toolkit as follows:
In the case of these metadata statements, or elements, describing mode of issuance, extension plan, content, media and carrier type, they all relate to vocabulary encoding schemes of controlled terms.
In a MARC 21 context, identifiers for those vocabulary encoding schemes can be appended to controlled terms as a means of recording a source consulted.
To go one step further, it is possible to record multiple characteristics of data provenance in relation to an individual metadata statement. Let’s take an agent who records metadata and timespan when metadata is published as a couple of examples.
The element author agent is defined as follows in the new RDA Toolkit:
And the element related timespan of work is defined as follows:
In a MARC 21 context it is now possible to link multiple characteristics of data provenance to an individual metadata statement. Here. one coded value dpeaa representing the element author agent is combined with code UK which represents the British Library. Another coded value dpertow representing the element related timespan of work is combined with a timestamp entered in ISO 8601 basic format.
