  1. The Future of Bibliographic Control: FRBR, RDA, and DCMIKaren E. White CUA Student RDA FRBR User Tasks DCMI Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a new set of guidelines for cataloging that aims to replace AACR2 in the library community. RDA will more easily allow for description of both print and digital resources. The new standard should be released in its entirety in 2009. RDA moves away from transcription in records to a focus on describing relationships between access points. RDA is based on FRBR concepts and the guidelines themselves are arranged according to the FRBR entities. Like FRBR, RDA focuses on the relationships between access points. RDA is a content standard, not a display standard and therefore RDA will still likely be functional with MARC21. Many library stakeholder groups will be fully reviewing RDA before implementing its guidelines in their online catalogs. Full integration of RDA into existing systems will take the cooperation of the metadata community and ILS vendors. The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) is an international standard to describe resources. Dublin Core was developed to provide a record with more information than simple indexing, but less information than a complete bibliographic record. Humans can create the record and leave it to automation to discover and collect. The simple Dublin Core Element Set (DCES) is most often used to describe digital resources and includes fifteen elements: Title Type Coverage Contributor Date Subject Source Creator Rights Identifier Description Relation Publisher Format Language • The Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) from IFLA assists catalogers and metadata providers with a conceptual model for organizing information in a way that will be helpful for users. • Find • Identify • Select • Obtain • The four FRBR user tasks describe what a user should be able to do with data in an online retrieval environment: • find a record with known values • identify a record from a group • select a record from a list • obtain the resource represented FRBR Entities Further information FRBR – www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/FRBR Tillett, B.

For additional information and resources contact me at: 60white@cua.edu The FRBR conceptual model focuses on relationships between groups of data. Groups 1, 2, and 3 identify unique aspects of a bibliographic work. Group 1 Entities Work ExpressionManifestation Item These Group 1 Entities are relationally hierarchical and may be applied to existing catalog records. By focusing on relationships, materials with similar content will group together in search results. By using FRBR concepts in cataloging, the user will more easily navigate through the OPAC. When using FRBR, RDA, or the DCMI for cataloging or developing metadata for resources in any format, think about how the user will access the material.
