Start by identifying the
type of resource
RDA
Start by identifying the
data element
music score  music (chapt 5)
title (of music score)  attribute (2.3)
compact disc  sound recordings
(chapt 6)
title (of compact disc)  attribute (2.3)
MP3  music? sound? electronic? …
(chapt. 5?, 6? 9?)
title (of MP3 file)  attribute (2.3)
PROBLEM!
RDA
 Structure based on FRBR model (Works
Expressions Manifestations Items … )
 Supports user needs and user tasks (Find
Identify Select Obtain)
 Covers authority and bibliographic data
 Record independent units of data (machine
readable, not just human readable)
RDA’s main changes
 Core and “Core if” elements (no more levels
of description)
 Take what you see (fewer abbreviations, no
more “rule of 3”)
 Content, Media & Carrier types (no more
GMD)
 Expanded sources of information
Take what you see
 ‘transcribe’ really does mean transcribe

 In addition: few abbreviations: pages, not p.; colour, not col.;
illustrations, not ill.
Why change?
 helps to accurately identify the item in hand
 allows the use of other sources of data
(e.g. scanned or publisher supplied)
Three new data elements
Content type (Core)
Media type (Optional)
Carrier type (Core)
 Recorded as terms or codes
 RDA covers content not presentation or display
Why change?
Clearer identification of format
GMD vs Content & Carrier
RDA
AACR2
Content type & carrier type
General Material
Designation (GMD)
e.g.
e.g.
[sound recording]
Content type: performed music
Carrier type: audio disc
[music]
Content type: notated music
Carrier type: volume
Sources of information
1.Identify the boundaries of the resource
 Includes storage medium and housing (where
integral to resource)
 Includes accompanying material for
comprehensive descriptions
2. Choose preferred source of information
 includes permanent labels on resources
 excludes labels on accompanying material
Sources of information 2
If information comes from outside the resource
itself it should be marked “either by means of
a note or by some other means (e.g. through
coding or the use of square brackets)” 2.2.4
The benefit:
 Square brackets always mean the information
comes from outside the resource.
 Makes identification easier.
Music rule changes
Editions (include musical presentation
statement)
Definitions (score, chorus score, vocal
score)
New elements in authority data
(medium of performance, numeric
designation, key)
Edition statement
• Scope extended to include

– Statements of responsibility indicating arrangement or
version e.g.“vocal score …”
• 2.5.2.1 “In case of doubt ... consider the
presence of ... a statement indicating …
– (g) A particular voice range or format for notated
music
as evidence that such a statement is a
designation of edition”
Changes in definitions of
scores
 Score: Graphical, symbolic, or wordbased musical notation representing the
sounds of all the parts of an ensemble or
a work for solo performer or
electronic media
 miniature score, use study score
 short score & close score included with
condensed score
