RDA Testing & Comparison with AACR2 (session 1)

Charlene Chou Columbia University

Agenda Background Goals RDA testing in US (Oct.-Dec. 2010) Tester Group at Columbia (July 1, 2010-) What’s new in RDA: comparison with

AACR2 MARC21: new and updated tags Summary: initial observations

3

Background In response to concerns about RDA raised by the Library of

Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control, the three U.S. national libraries—the Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine and the National Agricultural Library—made a commitment to the further development and completion of RDA. The three libraries agreed to make a joint decision on whether or not to implement RDA, based on the results of a test of both RDA and the Web product. The goal of the test is to assure the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of RDA. Testers will include the three national libraries and the broader U.S. library community.

Columbia University is one of selected testing institutions. More information on LC WG website at:

http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/

Goals RDA (Resource Description & Access)

The new, unified standard for resource description and access, designed for the digital world and an expanding universe of metadata users.

Approach: pros & cons Emphasis:

Practical experiences and observations during testing process

Comparison between RDA and AACR2 CJK examples

This is not a training session but an informative session for the discussion of issues!

5

RDA Testing RDA Test “Train the Trainer” on 1/15/10 RDA Basecamp (Testers’ website) with all

related documents Training manual and documents:

Comparison between AACR2 & RDA RDA core elements (core & core if…)

Choices in RDA LC proposed practice for the RDA test 163 options and alternatives in RDA

(alternative/optional omission/optional addition)Exercises

6

RDA Testing Official testing time is from Oct.1-Dec.31,

2010 RDA testing cataloging decisions

Common set titles 25 titles (10 textual monographs; 5 audio-visual; 5

serials-print or other; 5 integrating resources) All titles will be in English; items with parallel

languages may be included Each institution catalogs one common set by two

different persons—one using RDA; another one using the current codes

Only descriptive elements; no subject analysis is to be done

No searching of local or national database

7

RDA Testing—Extra set RDA testing cataloging decisions

Extra set for regular materials: 25 titles using RDA Catalog these materials using normal procedures, e.g. perform

authority work if normally does so Catalog these materials to accommodate MARC21 changes

related to RDA If a testing institution is a PCC member, provide PCC coding

Decisions: LC will host the site containing all the test RDA records, and work

with OCLC to resolve the technical issues for record transferring. Submit records for common set and regular titles to LC for

analysis by the Testing Coordinating Committee Each institution must submit a survey response for each record

Via email, B. Tillett has agreed to include CJK titles for RDA training examples.

8

Tester Group at Columbia

Chaired by the Director of Original Cataloging Division

Testers include Original Catalogers from Central Technical Services, one representative from East Asian Library and one representative from Law Library.

In addition to MARC record creation, our Metadata Coordinator also creates non-MARC metadata records (MODS).

9

Tester Group: training period Almost weekly meeting from July 1 to Sept.

30, 2010 Listened to RDA webinars Reviewed the Powerpoint slides Reviewed RDA Toolkit

NavigationCreated workflows for rare books, metadata, etc.

Organized and reviewed related training documents for both bibliographic and authority records

10

Selected RDA resources RDA toolkit RDA Toolkit—a guided tour by Troy Linker (2/8&9/2

010) Basecamp LC test site LC documentation: including examples compared t

o AACR2 and LC Policy Statements University of Chicago documentation and examples Adam Schiff’s Comparison RDA Testing and PCC document

11

Tester Group: training period

Created test records individually and discussed with other testers during meetingTried new RDA elements or rules if applicableShared concerns for specific formats or rules

Set up a Wiki page for testers’ communication and training documentation

Went over testing procedures for both common set and extra set

12

Selected RDA resources on our wiki JSC for the Development of RDA Working Documents (includes

examples) NCSU RDA documentation & training materials RDA in depth: differences between RDA and AACR2 (Robert

Maxwell) RDA Changes for AACR2 for Texts (Barbara Tillett) RDA Vocabularies: Process, Outcome, Use (D. Hillmann, et al.) RDA vocabularies for a Twenty-First century data environment

Susan Summer's Selected RDA Resources DCRM-L thread on rare books cataloging US RDA Test and SACO RDA and the Semantic Web (Alexander Haffner, German National

Library)

13

Tester Group: testing period Oct. 1-Dec. 31, 2010 Due to the complex testing procedures, do

common set first, then extra set later. Do not meet regularly, but give testers more time

to create records. The chair called for a meeting to collect testers’

comments for certain meetings/reports. For extra set, record all test record numbers on

the Wiki.

New: identifying families (authority records) RDA 8.1.2=“two or more persons related by birth, marriage,

adoption, etc. Scope:

Now considered creators, contributors, etc. Important for archives, museums, and special collections

Examples: 100 3# Ingebretson (Family) 376 ## Family Date associated with the family (RDA 10.4) 046 ## 1925 $t 1976 100 3# Pahlavi (Dynasty : $d 1925-1979) 376 ## Dynasty Place associated with the family 046 ## 1529 $t 1739 100 3# Nayak (Dynasty : $d 1529-1739 : Madurai, India) 370 ## Madurai, India 376 ## Dynasty

500-530: $4—relationship code; $w/0 “r”—control subfield

34

Summary: initial observations Benefits:

Authority record is much more strengthened with more information even though they are optional elements.

If 336-338 information will be processed well in discovery tool, it would be a great source for facet searching or collocating.

Try to be more user-friendly, e.g. spell-out form Go beyond MARC community Outreach international community

Concerns: RDA Toolkit: no index

Hard to search and navigate Top priority for the enhancement in the next release

35

Summary: initial observations Concerns:

RDA is not format-based, so harder to catalog specific type of resources.

RDA does not have sufficient examples; therefore, other resources are extremely helpful for creating RDA records, e.g.

Workflows in Toolkit, LC examples, JSC examples, Adam Schiff’s slides, University of Chicago’s examples on website, esp. with OPAC view

Repetitive information, esp. for AV materials It takes longer to catalog if more information

added to bibliographic and authority records.

OPAC

The display of new RDA elements

59

OPAC display Options for 336, 337, 338 To display or not

Reference staff feeling: not to display since they are not useful and cluttered the records

Testing: devising labels If display, what’s the label?

3xx displays as “Description”? Use RDA terminology (Content type, media type,

carrier type)? Different labels: content, medium and format

If not, still used as facets? Example: University of Chicago

My observations and analysis Pros

Transcribe what it appears on piece

No more Latin abbreviations

FRBRized structure—format-free approach

More options

Cons Much more spellings:

macros to handle Technical difficulties

RDA Toolkit: no index & few CJK examples

Hard to catalog without format-specific instructions

More fields to code: really necessary ($0)?

More local decisions? More training for copy catalogers?

64

My observations and analysis Pros

More detailed publishing information

More fields for authority control and manipulation

Many Chinese names can be pulled out of undifferentiated name record due to new qualifiers, e.g. occupations

Flexible for other metadata (non-MARC)

Cons Confusing: makeup titles;

publishing information, etc. More time-consuming to

code optional fields in authority record

Hard to map certain RDA elements with non-MARC metadata schemas

Make cataloging process more efficient or harder?

More messy database? How about legacy data?

65

Examples: Easier for users: no more S.l. & s.n.

260 [Place of publication not identified] : $b [publisher not identified], $c [date of publication not identified]

Confusing for users: Copyright date

260 [Des Moines?] : $b Iowa Department of Transportation, $c [date of publication not identified], c2009.

Compilation of works by different creators RDA with alternative for devised title

245 [Two political science studies] 245 [Two United States Midwest memoirs] 505 Community band concerts / Sharon Polk. Fall harvest

festivals / Terri Swanson. RDA without alternative for devised title

245 Community band concerts /$c Sharon Polk. Fall harvest festivals / Terri Swanson.

66

My wish list A more simplified approach

Compared with CSR experiences A flexible tagging and applicable for non-

MARC data No more punctuations Are AACR2 records with sufficient

information for technology/discovery tool to harvest for facet searching, etc.?

What’s the priority for the future of cataloging?

Thanks!
