Data sharing
beyond libraries
Linked data
Non-Anglocentric
Test period (the real Day One)
• RDA Toolkit became available in the
summer of 2010
• 3 U.S. national libraries (LC, NLM, NAL),
20 other libraries, OCLC, Informal testers
• By summer 2011, over 10,000
bibliographic records were created and
added to OCLC database
Underlying concepts
•
•
•
•
•
Representation principle: “take what you see.”
Being understood (common usage)
More precise physical description
Some fussy twisty catalogery things
Showing types of relationships between works,
and between works and their creator(s)
• FRBR…
Representation principle
• Fewer abbreviations, no catalogersupplied Latin
but we’re keeping op., no., SATB, BWV
• No more “rule of three”
access points for everybody who helped
• Capitalization
you can get used to almost anything…

Form of notation
Typically, this
“language” note:
546 ǂb Staff notation.
RDA lists these forms:
• graphic notation
• letter notation
• mensural notation
• neumatic notation
• number notation
• solmization
• staff notation
• tablature
• tonic sol-fa
FRBR and FRBR-lite
Entity relationship model
Group 1: the “bibliographic” entities
work, expression, manifestation, item
Group 2: the “people” entities
individual persons and corporate bodies
Group 3: the “subject” entities
concepts, events, places…
-- These entities have attributes
-- There are relationships between the entities
What do we want the catalog to do?
Show us:
• All the works created by or associated with a person
• The expressions of the same work (scores, recorded
performances, arrangements, translations)
• The manifestations of the same expression (various
published editions)
• The items of the same manifestation (individual copies)
• Related works (adaptations, improvisations, works
about…)

Categories of Adaptations of Musical Works

and other arrangements incorporating new material
b) paraphrases of various works or of the general style of another
composer
c) arrangements in which the harmony or musical style of the
original has been changed
d) performances of musical works involving substantial creative
responsibility for adaptation, improvisation, etc., on the part of the
performer or performers

Future library systems will be increasingly
geared to a linked data environment,
but for now…
• Expect to see different kinds of records in
the catalog -- a “mixed environment” and
even hybrid records
• How does your ILS handle new data
elements?
– record loading into the catalog
– indexing (searchability) and display
