What’s changing?
!Changes in technology
!Change in focus: Move from individual library
to international audience
!Change of view: Move from classes of
materials in libraries to elements and
relationships for entities in bibliographic
universe
"More controlled vocabularies
"More re-use of metadata beyond libraries
Internet
!Catalogs are no longer in isolation
"Global access to data
!Integrate bibliographic data with
wider Internet environment

“Bridge” Period – Building Blocks
%Clearly identify the data:
New MARC coding and mapping tables for RDA and
MARC, Dublin Core, MODS/MADS, and ISBD
%Register controlled vocabularies on the Web:
RDA/ONIX controlled lists (e.g., content, media, &
carrier types)
VIAF name authority data <viaf.org>
LCSH/SKOS <id.loc.gov/authorities>
%Develop next generation systems:
ILS, more sophisticated search engines, more open

Initial comments
• Reporting on a research project conducted in
2005-2007
• No pictures – just numbers and text!
• Title should be:
Data-driven evidence for a core bibliographic
metadata record
• Need to express/represent bib data in current
technologies (e.g., XML, RDF, etc.)
• “MARC must die” – Roy Tennant
• Bibliographic control needs to change

The project and its goals
• Motivation for project
• IMLS-funded Z39.50 Interoperability Testbed Project
(2001-2003)
• Analysis of populated fields in MARC bib records for
indexing decisions
• 4% of all fields/subfields account for 80% of all occurrences
• 96% of all fields/subfields account for 20% of all occurrences
• Examining Present Practices to Inform Future
Metadata Use: An Empirical Analysis of MARC
Content Designation Utilization (MCDU)
• Empirically determine the extent of catalogers’ use of
content designation available in MARC 21 bib format
69

MCDU project objectives
• Provide empirical evidence of catalogers’ use of MARC
content designation
• Identify commonly used elements in bibliographic
records
• Contribute to community discussion about core elements
in MARC bibliographic records
• Explore the evolution of MARC content designation
• Develop research approach to understand the factors
influencing levels of MARC content designation use
Quality of the data in records was out of scope

Dataset
• 56,177,383 MARC 21 bibliographic records from
OCLC WorldCat (as of May 2005)
• Decomposed the records to store in MySQL
• Partitioned decomposed data into 20 databases
• Type of Record (10 formats) by Source of Cataloging (2,
LC or non-LC)
• Ran frequency counts of fields and subfields
• Total occurrences of fields/subfields
• Total number of records where field/subfield occurred
• 211 fields and 1596 subfields occurred at least once in
the dataset records
• Focus on cataloger-supplied, not system supplied

Comparison with community guidelines
• Recommendations versus practice
• Compared elements in MCDU to existing guidelines:
• Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) BIBCO Core Records
• CONSER Record Requirements for Full, Minimal and Core Level
Records for Serials
• National and Minimal Level Bibliographic Records Requirements
(Library of Congress)
• See Eklund, et al. article in References
• Key MCDU finding:
• The empirical evidence indicates that catalogers’ utilization of
MARC fields/subfields is not directly aligned with the fields/
subfields prescribed in these guidelines
• MCDU Project data provide an empirical basis for decision-
making about what fields constitute a “core” record – based on
catalogers’ practice

Questions to the community
• What does low occurrence of fields/subfields suggest to
the cataloging community?
• What about the > 60% of all fields/subfields used in < 1% of the
records?
• What is needed in a bibliographic record?
• To support the FRBR-defined user tasks?
• Do we know the extent of, and more specifically which, content
designation structures are needed to support a user task?
• See Miksa, et al. article in References
• To manage information resources?
• Should the focus be on high-value, high-impact, high-
quality data in a few fields/subfields?
• Can we argue persuasively for the cost/benefit of
existing practice?

Final thoughts
• The numbers don’t stand alone
• What does the following mean:
• The 650 field occurs 11,778,732 times in 5,387,282 out of
7,595,887 records
• The 656 field occurs 1 time in 1 out of 7,595,887 records
• The evidence should inform community conversations,
not necessarily dictate decisions
• The MCDU data provide provide empirical
evidence:
• for dialog among standards developers and the
cataloging community
• to improve decision-making about cataloging practices
• to guide what constitutes a core record
