Resource Description & Access (RDA)

RDA RELATIONSHIP DESIGNATORS Library of Congress Implementation of Resource Description and Access Relationship Designators in Bibliographic Records with MARC 21 RDA Cataloging Examples, Guidelines, and Best Practices Key points The training manual is only for relationship designators in  bibliographic  records. The  requirement  for providing relationship designators is only applicable to  creators , whether coded in MARC 1XX or 7XX. Relationship designators for Person-Family-Corporate Body  should not be used in a name/title access point tagged 7XX or 8XX, even if they are creators. If the nature of the relationship cannot be ascertained even at a general level,  do not assign a relationship designator  (if in doubt, leave it out). Other relationship designators are encouraged. The element name, e.g., “creator”, may be used as a relationship designator when you can’t determine a more appropriate relationship designator. The tr...

Question on Relationships in Resource Description & Access on Google+ Community RDA Cataloging  - Answers from Experts at RDA-L CATALOGUING A REVIEW: I face a difficulty when recording a work relationship for a work which is a review of a critical edition of another work. Ideally, I would like to be able to connect between a work (the review) and the expression of another work (the critical edition). Here is an example: WORK A: Baalbaki, Ramzi, born 1951. [Review of] Harun's edition of Sibawayhi's Kitab (2010) WORK B: Sībawayh, died 796?. Al-Kitāb (ca. 780) EXPRESSION B1: Sībawayh, died 796?. Al-Kitāb (ca. 780). (Critical edition by H. Derenbourg, 1881‒1885). Text. Arabic EXPRESSION B2: Sībawayh, died 796?. Al-Kitāb (ca. 780). (Critical edition by A. S. Hārūn, 1966‒1977 ). Text. Arabic WORK A1 is a review of EXPRESSION B2. What do you suggest I should do? It seems that the relationship designators (here, "review of") apply either bet...

RDA RELATIONSHIP DESIGNATORS RDA Relationship Designators : Editor of Compilation vs Compiler  The editor of a compilation, as defined in I.3.1, is not a creator of a work and thus has to be treated as a 700, not a 100. On the other hand, a compiler (for example of a dictionary, a directory, a bibliography, etc.) can be considered a creator (see I.2.1) and thus can be treated as a 100. Expert remarks by  Aaron Kuperman ,  Law Librarian, Library of Congress :  A good rule of thumb is that a compilation needs to consist of works that can (and should) be listed in the contents note. According to RDA Toolkit:  I.2.1 Relationship Designators for Creators:  Compiler :  A person, family, or corporate body responsible for creating a new work (e.g., a bibliography, a directory) by selecting, arranging, aggregating, and editing data, information, etc. For a compiler as a contributor, see editor at I.3.1. According to RDA Toolkit: I...

Following RDA example shows how RDA differs from AACR2 in regards to  books with text in both the original language and its translation(s) . This book has both the original work (in Sanskrit) and its English translation. Under AACR2, it would have been easier to see that there's a translation as there would have been a 240 of: 240 10 ‡a Pūyamēhavijñāna. ‡l English & Sanskrit Under RDA, there is no longer a 240 for this situation. Rather, there are 2 700s: 700 12 ‡a Koṭīśvaraśāstrī, Vēmpaṭi. ‡t Pūyamēhavijñāna. [for the original in Sanskrit] 700 12 ‡a Koṭīśvaraśāstrī, Vēmpaṭi. ‡t Pūyamēhavijñāna. ‡l English.
