Bibliographic or authority data?

• RDA does not prescribe if attributes about the work/expression and the access points are to be recorded as bibliographic data or authority data

• Agency decision related to implementation functionality, to analysis policy, etc.– For initial implementation, most often establish

the access point with authority data

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 3

Language and script

• Title for a work in the language and script in which it appears in the resource – RDA 5.4– Alternative: a transliterated form as a substitute for

or in addition to the found form

• Descriptive attributes for a work or expression in RDA chapter 7 in language and script preferred by the agency

• Other attributes for a work or expression in RDA chapter 6 in language and script prescribed in instructions

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 4

Title of an expression?

• No! -- Doesn’t exist in the FRBR/FRAD models

• Instead, build the access point for an expression by adding identifying attributes to the access point for the work (RDA 5.5/5.6)

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 5

Authorized access point for a manifestation?

• Not included in RDA yet

– Will be added when the FRBR model is extended to subject entities because most often need to have such an access point for a subject relationship

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 6

Yes, create an authorized access point for a manifestation

• However, at times do need an access point for a manifestation for non-subject reasons (e.g., for a monographic series issued in different carriers):– Build on the access point for the expression

by adding a distinguishing characteristic

General guidelines for titles (RDA 6.2.1)

• Capitalization of title – see RDA appendix A.3

• Numbers in title in found form– For parts of works, see RDA 6.2.2.9

• Accents in title as found; optionally, can add

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 8

General guidelines for titles (RDA 6.2.1)

• Omit initial article unless accessed by that article

• Do not give space between a period and an initial

• If initials lacking periods have spaces, retain spaces

• Abbreviations in title – see RDA appendix B.3

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 9

Terminology

• Title of the work: “word, character, or group of words and/or characters by which a work is known”

• Preferred title– For current implementations = the form of title used when

constructing the authorized access point

• Variant title– For current implementations = the form of title used when

constructing a variant access point

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 10

Sources of information

• Sources for preferred title for work (6.2.2.2):

– For a work created after 1500: from resources embodying the work (usually the first manifestation received) or reference sources

– For a work created before 1501: from modern reference sources

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 11

Sources of information

• If the evidence of modern reference sources is inconclusive for a work created before 1501, use (in this order of preference):a) modern editionsb) early editionsc) manuscript copies

• All other elements for works and expressions: any source

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 12

Reminder: changes in the resource

• Some changes affect the identification of the work (RDA 6.1.3)– Related to some of the reasons for new

descriptions (RDA 1.6) discussed in module 3– Depends upon basis of identification for the

specific mode of issuance

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 13

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 15

Preferred title for the work

• General instructions in RDA 6.2• Specific instructions:

– parts (RDA 6.2.2)– compilations (RDA 6.2.2)– some musical works (RDA 6.14.2)– some legal works (RDA 6.19.2)– some religious works (RDA 6.23.2)– some official communications (RDA 6.26.2)

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 16

Preferred title: changes from AACR2

• No longer routinely omit introductory phrases (e.g., “Here beginneth …”) and statements of responsibility– Preferred title based on first manifestation

received– If later manifestations have different forms,

determine the most common form of the preferred title -- it may not have such a phrase or statement

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 17

Preferred title: Other changes from AACR2

• “Selections” not used alone as the preferred title -- instead, “Works. Selections”

• For simultaneous publications with different titles: choice based on first resource received

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 18

Simultaneous publication: different titles in same language

• Choose the preferred title based on title of the resource first received (not the resource published in the home country)

U.K. volume received first: Walking in BritainU.S. volume received later: Day walks in Britain

Preferred title = Walking in Britain

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 19

Simultaneous publication: different titles/languages

• No longer a priority order of languages – use title in resource first received

Serial published simultaneously in German andEnglish versions

German-language version received firstEnglish-language version received later

Preferred title = title from German-language version

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 20

Preferred titles: parts of the Bible

• Refer to the Old and New Testaments by their spelled-out forms (not “O.T.” and “N.T.”)

Entity related to work

• RDA 0.6.3 and RDA 6.27.1: when creating the authorized access point for the work, precede the preferred title for the work, if appropriate, by the authorized access point representing the person, family, or corporate body responsible for the work

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 23

Chapter 19: entity responsible for a work

• Sources (RDA 19.1.1): – Preferred sources of information (RDA

2.2.2)– Other statements appearing prominently

in the resource– Information appearing only in the content– Other sources

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 24

Creator

• Creator = “person, family, or corporate body responsible for the creation of a work” = core element (RDA 19.2)

• If more than one, only the creator having principal responsibility named first in resource is required

• If more than one and principal responsibility not indicated, only the first-named creator is required

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 25

Collaborative works

• For collaborative works, the creators may perform the same or different roles (RDA 19.2.1)– Choosing the first-named creator to name

the work may mean that the result is not the same as applying the AACR2 rule due to the order of names on the source

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 26

Example: creators with principal responsibility

100 $a Sweet, Martha. 245 $a … / $c by Martha Sweet and Linda

• Includes government and religious officials for some categories of works

• Corporate body takes precedence over a first-named person or family as creator

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 29

Compilation of works

• RDA: do not name the compilation by the first work in the compilation as AACR2 does in some situations, because doing so misidentifies the aggregate work

• Can give authorized access points for each work/expression

• If no collective title, alternative is to devise a title proper

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 30

Preferred title for compilations of one person, family, body

• RDA 6.2.2.10

• Categories:– Complete works = use “Works”– Complete works in a single form = use term

chosen by cataloger– Other compilations of two or more works in same

form or different forms = give preferred title for each work

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 31

Alternative for “Other compilations …”

• Instead of or in addition to giving the preferred title for each work, use a conventional collective title, e.g.,:– Works. Selections– Posters. Selections– Orchestra music. Selections

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 32

• Won’t occur often

• One example:– Jurisdiction governed by laws is not the jurisdiction

enacting the laws (not the creator)– But RDA 6.29.1.2 says to construct the authorized

access point for laws governing one jurisdiction by combining the authorized access point for the jurisdiction governed and the preferred title for the laws

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 81

MARC for Identifier for an expression

• In access point in bibliographic records, record control number in MARC subfield $0 (Authority record control number)

• In authority records:– a record control number in field 001, 010, etc.– other identifiers in field 024 with first indicator “7”

(ensure that source of code has been added to MARC list cited in subfield $2)

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 82

Scale for cartographic resources

• Core elements from chapter 7’s attributes of expression– Horizontal scale of cartographic content (RDA

7.25.3)– Vertical scale of cartographic content (RDA 7.25.4)

• See Training document #3 for other non-core elements in chapter 7

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 83

Horizontal scale of cartographic content

• RDA 7.25.3• Scope = “the ratio of horizontal distances in the

cartographic content of a resource to the actual distances they represent”

• Sources expanded to any source -- so no square brackets:

• Basic instructions in 7.25.1; no abbreviations

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 84

Vertical scale of cartographic content

• RDA 7.25.4

• Scope = “the scale of elevation or vertical dimension of the cartographic content of a resource”

• Source: any source within the resource

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 85

MARC for Horizontal/Vertical scale …

• 255 field (bibliographic format): add “Scale” or “Vertical scale”

255 $a Scale 1:63,360.

255 $a Scale 1:6,336,000. Vertical scale 1:192,000.

255 $a Scale approximately 1:220,000.

Date of expression

• RDA 6.10• Scope = “earliest date associated with an

expression”– May use date of the earliest manifestation embodying

the expression

• Core if needed to differentiate an expression of a work from another expression of the same work

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 88

MARC for Date of expression

• Access point: in subfield $f• 046 field: subfields $k and $l

Other distinguishing characteristic of the expression

• General instruction: RDA 6.12

• Specific instructions:– musical works (RDA 6.18)– religious works (RDA 6.23)– selections/excerpts from a larger work (RDA 6.12.1.4)

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 90

Other distinguishing characteristic of the expression

• Scope = “a characteristic other than content type, language of expression, or date of expression that serves to differentiate an expression from another expression of the same work”

• Core if needed to differentiate an expression of a work from another expression of the same work

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 91

MARC for Other distinguishing … expression

• Access point: added to the authorized access point for the work

• Some characteristics have their own subfields in access point:– subfield $k for “Selections”– subfield $o for musical works (e.g., “arranged”)– subfield $s for versions of the Bible, etc.

Primary Relationships

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 95

Primary relationships

• RDA 17.4

• Scope = “relationships between a work, expression, manifestation, and item that are inherent in the FRBR definitions”

• Two relationships are core elements:– Work manifested– Expression manifested

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 96

Conventions: primary relationships

• RDA 17.4.2

• Three conventions:– identifier [decision by the coordinating committee

not to use this convention during the RDA Test]

– authorized access point for the work or expression

– composite description

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 97

Work manifested

• RDA 17.8

• Scope = a work embodied in a manifestation

• If more than one work is embodied in the manifestation, only the predominant or first-named work manifested is required

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 98

Expression manifested

• RDA 17.10• Scope = an expression embodied in a

manifestation

• Core if more than one expression of a work• If more than one expression embodied in the

manifestation, only the predominant or first-named expression manifested is required

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 99

Relationships: authorized access points

• These two relationships represented now in MARC records by the authorized access points for the work(s) and expression(s)– Not always a separate access point for the work

• Some elements needed to identify works and expressions may not be part of the authorized access point -- must rely on other content in the records (e.g., 250 field)

RDA Test Training: Content as of Mar. 31, 2010 -- Module 4 100

Relationships: composite descriptions

• Combination of one or more elements identifying the work and/or expression with the description of the manifestation – Essentially the MARC bibliographic record

created today containing attributes of work, expression, and manifestation
