Some of the things…•We thought would save us:

• Cataloging Internet resources

•& making huge adaptations of MARC

• FRBR

• RDA

• Transitioning away from MARC to …

• Linked data?

Poll1. How many of you are implementing RDA?

• right now, as we speak

• soon, but still waiting to see what others do

• no implementation plan

2. How many of you currently create a significant amount of non-MARC metadata - e.g. Dublin Core, EAD, MODS?

• yes, we do that a lot

• no, none or almost none

•Entity Relationship Model, but also

•FRBR user tasks:

• to find;

• to identify;

• to select;

• to acquire or obtain access

FRBR

“In the final analysis, the RDA Test Coordinating Committee recommended that the national libraries adopt RDA with certain conditions and that implementation will not occur before January 1, 2013.”

• Dis-aggregated cataloging

• Distinguish between RDA the cataloging rules; tool for catalogers; and

• RDA – the new model for library data (linked data)

• Broad agreement after testing –

• MARC & RDA = not a happy match!

Implications of RDA

How do we create this brave new metadata??

•No “hand-hewn” records•No “entry screen” in BIBFRAME•BIBFRAME experiments to date use existing MARC data, and dumping it in

To recap•Tried to get the Internet into the Library Catalog

•Had our bibliographic data try on fancy information models & let it flirt with other metadata schemes

•Got our bibliographic data all gussied up and looking pretty good –

•BUT – still wearing 50-year-old underwear!!

•It’s time to release the bibliographic data from the library catalog, and let it out on the web to play with new friends
