Last week in FRBR
- Welcome to the Registry, RDA Online users! “This page provides quick links for the Registered RDA Element Sets and Value Vocabularies. Each set of elements or vocabulary concepts has a link to the general description as well as a link to a list of elements or concepts. FRBR Entities for RDA has a note: “Provisional registration of FRBR entities for use in RDA. Official FRBR entity registrations with working URIs will be substituted when available.” If you need an RDA metadata schema I think this is what you want.
- Jenn Riley’s Thoughts on FRSAD. “In short, I think good work has been done here but it doesn’t meet my needs as someone working diligently (and actively implementing FRBR and FRAD) to re-imagine discovery systems in libraries.”
- I posted a link about this before, but Karen Coyle has continued to post her thoughts on Martha Yee’s Can Bibliographic Data Be Put Directly Onto the Semantic Web? See her posts Yee on RDF and Bibliographic Data, and answers to questions 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-11, 12-13, with FRBR mentioned in all of them, I think.
- Non-ISBN Matching from LibraryThing’s Thingology blog is about how they do a better job now in their LibraryThing for Libraries service of identifying items that don’t have ISBNs, which, after all, have only been around for 40 years. Anything that helps with this helps with identifying Manifestations, Expressions, and Works.
Catching up after some connectivity problems.
