• Some changes to know about

• Things that are different

• Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

• AACR2 vs. RDA/FRBR and ILS

Page 6: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Implementation Plan

• When?

• Budget?

• Training?

• Cataloging data changes?

• ILS changes?

Page 7: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

What is RDA?

• RDA stands for: Resource

Description and Access

• New cataloging standard that will

replace AACR2

• Data content standard, not a

display or encoding standard

• Intended to be more international

and less Anglo centric

Page 8: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

What is RDA?

• Based on FRBR (Functional

Requirements for Bibliographic

Records) and FRAD (Functional

Requirements for Authority

Records)

• RDA can be used with MARC, but

is structured to work with other

data formats such as Dublin Core

Page 9: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Why RDA?

• New Formats and Types

• Designed for Online Environment

• To Be More International

• Change of Users’ Expectations

Page 10: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

What’s wrong with AACR?

• Lack of logical structure

• Mixing content and carrier data • (manuscript on microform, map on DVD, etc.)

• Hierarchical relationships missing

• Anglo-American centric

• Written before FRBR

• Not enough support for collocation

• Before Internet, metadata and digital environment

Based on slide from Barbara B. Tillett, Univ. of Florence

AACR2-RDA Comparison

• Things that Stay the Same:

– RDA is designed to be backward

compatible with AACR2

• RDA will be implemented using the

MARC21 format

– RDA will work with your Integrated

Library System (ILS)

Page 29: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

• Things that are different:

– RDA is based on conceptual models

for library data (FRBR and FRAD)

– RDA is designed to be used as an

online product (RDA Toolkit)

– RDA hopes to make it possible to

move library data onto the Semantic

Web and support the use of Linked-

Data (Linked-Metadata)

FRBR User Tasks (Searching for information resources):

• Find—to find resources that correspond to the

user’s stated search criteria

• Identify—to confirm that the resource described

corresponds to the resource sought, or to

distinguish between two or more resources with

similar characteristics

• Select—to select a resource that is appropriate to

the user’s needs

• Obtain—to acquire or access the resource

described.

FRAD user tasks

• Find

• Identify

• Contextualize

• Justify

Principles to achieve

FRAD user tasks

• Differentiate

• Represent

• Language preference

• Common usage

RDA 4 principles for persons, families, and

corporate bodies are meant to meet the FRAD user

tasks, they are: find, identify, understand the

relationship, and understand why a name has been

recorded. They are covered in RDA 8.2.

RDA and Linked-Data

Linked-Data:

Linked Data is a methodology for providing relationships between things (data, concepts and documents) anywhere on the web, using URI’s for identifying, RDF/XML for describing, HTTP for publishing these things and relationships in a way that they can be interpreted and used by humans and software.

Page 44: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Linked-Data in Libraries

• Linked-Metadata? – The “linked-metadata” can also use a

cross-referenced URIs in the metadata

records as the linking mechanisms for

linking metadata elements (names,

subject or bibliographic data) across

multiple library systems.

Advantages of linked data

• Building virtual collections

• Standards independent

• Richer user experience

Challenges of linked data

• Provenance, governance and sustainability

issues

• Quality of interlinked data

• Developing a workable framework, systems

and standards

• Needs robust infrastructure not available to

every library

Page 52: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

• New better rules for Arabic

cataloging:

–Qur’an will be used instead of

Koran

–Titles such as Imam can be

added (9.4.1.8 Other Persons of

Religious Vocation)

–Adding professions or

occupations for names

differentiation (9.19.1.6 Profession

or Occupation)

Page 54: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

9.19.1.6 Profession or Occupation

Add a term indicating the class of persons

engaged in the profession or occupation of

the person (see 9.16), if needed to distinguish

one access point from another. Make this

addition when the following elements are not

available: • date of birth and/or death (see 9.19.1.3)

or

• fuller form of name (see 9.19.1.4)

or

• period of activity of the person (see 9.19.1.5).

Page 55: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

• Rules that need to be

discussed –Dates in both Gregorian and Hijri

calendars

–Titles beginning with “Kitab”

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

Dates in both Gregorian and Hijri

calendars 0.11.4 Dates

Dates recorded in specified elements are transcribed

in the form in which they appear on the source of

information from which the data are taken. However,

allowance is made for recording the data in the form

preferred by the agency creating the data, either as a

substitute for or in addition to the data in the original form.

Page 58: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

Recording dates in Arabic script

numerals (Indian numerals) 0.11.4 Dates

Dates appearing in certain other specified elements

are also generally recorded in the form in which they

appear on the source of information from which the

data are taken. However, allowance is made for substituting equivalent numerals in the script preferred by the agency creating the data.

Page 59: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

• Questions about (0.11.4 Dates) – Does it allow s to record both the

Gregorian and Hijri dates if both are

available?

– Does it also allow us to record dates

in Arabic script numerals (Indian

numerals) that matches Arabic

language right to left directionality?

– Do we need to add this as a local

practice?

Page 60: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

“The answer is yes, of course, if the

cataloging agency prefers Hijri, and the

date on the resource is not from that

calendar, it can be added; or if the date is

on the piece as Hijri, then it is transcribed

for date of publication, etc. Local practice

would reflect what the cataloging agency

prefers for situations in RDA that say to

follow what the cataloging agency prefers.”

– Email from Dr. Barbara Tillett (Chair, Joint

Steering Committee for Development of

RDA)

Page 61: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

This allowance was already the

practice in AACR2 0.11.4 Dates

Allowance is also made for adding dates in

the Gregorian or Julian calendar if the data on

the source of information are not in that form.

Ex. 1429 [2008 or 2009]

Page 62: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

In the above NAR there is no other work cited in 670 without the word Kitab

Page 63: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Rules affecting Arabic cataloging

• Titles beginning with “Kitab”

Should we submit a proposal to add Kitab as the instruction below given for Sefer?

Hebraica Cataloging, notes on LCRI 21.30J “If all an author's works begin with the word

"Sefer", then no name/title authority records

are needed. If the word "Sefer" does not

appear on all an author's works, then a name

authority record is made for each title that

does use "Sefer" and the appropriate, specific

reference is made.”

Better Collocation of Bibliographic Data based on RDA/FRBR

Page 66: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Implementation Plan

• When? The decision will depend on factors such as:

First, When the Library ILS will be upgraded to

accommodate RDA and MARC changes?

Second, When the suppliers of the MARC

records (e.g., book vendors) will provide RDA-

based cataloging records?

Third, the library may wish to defer decisions on

RDA until after the national libraries start the

actual RDA implementation.

Page 67: Starting RDA ImplementationArabic Cataloging Librarian Qatar National Library Qatar Foundation iweheba@qf.org.qa The scientific conference on “Cataloging Rules in the 21st century

Implementation Plan

• Budget? Budgeting and purchase decisions for RDA Toolkit, training and other costs.

• Training? Identifying training needs and training levels.

Cataloging data changes?

Retrospective changes (programmatically or

manually)

• ILS changes? • RDA and MARC changes impact on the

ILS (the Client and OPAC)

• Indexing, searching and displaying of new

MARC fields

• Display of GMDs and the new MARC fields

for Content, Carrier, and Media types

• Display of tag 264 with split of publisher,

distributor, producer, copyright roles

• Are OPAC displays intuitive for the users?

If not, can we make changes to improve

the situation?

• 264 _0 = Production

• 264 _1 = Publisher

• 264 _2 = Distributor

• 264 _3 = Manufacturer

• 264 _4 = Copyright

Conclusion

“Don’t panic.” While much of RDA is

brand new and points toward a

different future for cataloging, there is

also much that is familiar to those used

to working with AACR2 and MARC 21. It

is important for us to know that RDA

will be implemented in stages. The

first stage is upon us and has been

designed to be less disruptive than we

may think.
