Serials, MARC Records and RDA Core

Posted on by

So I have several questions:

  1. What does a high (over the top) MARC Record look like both for the ISSN(s) and the article?
  2. What is the overlap between RDA Core and Dublin Core?
  3. What user tasks are left out between RDA full and RDA Core?

Some resources:

OLAC Collection Description and Linked Data Terms

The DCTerms provides some fields for use in the description of Collections. While it may be possible to use terms from specific vocabularies in the CLD (see a list of works) or see the whole application profile here. However, It is interesting to note that RDA has some of these terms too and even though purls were minted for CLD that linked data URIs exist for these concepts as well.

OLAC and User Tasks

What are the User Task in OLAC and for an OLAC 2.0?

What overlap does DCTerms have with the IFLA-LRM/RDA models? That is, if OLAC stays with DCTerms, what user tasks is it known to not support? On the flip side, what user tasks do archives need to support beyond OLAC's capabilities?

OLAC/DC, RDA, and IFLA-LRM

There needs to be a differential analysis of what metadata or relationships do not exist in which formats.

Just some resources looking at "core elements".

The following in an interesting expose into the use of "kits" or records for more than one carrier type. Arguably this is 90% of linguistics.

MARC profiles for Language Archives

AACR2 and RDA both constitute application profiles using the same database structure known as MARC. MARC defines the fields and the expected values within those fields (type control) while AACR2 and RDA compose definitions of cognitive models and data fingerprinting (not the LIS terms for these concepts). By cognitive model I mean the mental representation of entities and their relationships and by fingerprinting of data I mean that some artifacts are "well described" when various fields are employed. E.g., a book description needs a publisher, while a manuscript does not.

AACR2 and RDA both constitute application profiles to which the documentation is only provided on a subscription basis. This is a pay-to-play game. This sort of game is not well received by the language documentation community. These facts do no mean that preservation organizations need to avoid MARC, rather a MARC profile could be established and documented in the open.

When considering the future of OLAC and language resource archiving an outstanding question emerges, is this sort of profile something that is of interest within the community?
