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...

General Structure Remember that RDA has a clear structure: Table of Contents Introduction Specific instructions o    Entities and their attributes ·             Group 1 (WEMI) (Chapters 1-7) ·             Group 2 (PFC) (Chapters 8-16) o    Relationships (Chapters 17-22, 24-32) Appendices for o    Abbreviation o    Capitalization o    Relationship designators (more on this later) Glossary with links to the text of the instructions Index Not Organized Like AACR2 The organization of RDA is very different from AACR2. Instead of separate chapters for classes of materials (books, cartographic materials, printed music, etc.), RDA is principle-based and organized around the FRBR/FRAD tasks to help users “identify” and “relate” the resources they need from our collections. There are general instruction...

Question:  According to slide 8 of  http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/ source/special_topics_ compilations.ppt   we are to add the date to conventional collective titles beginning with "Works". Please verify if this is now optional or required. Answer:    The PPT  take a look at it now.  http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/ Refresher_training_dec_2011. html Question:   Great! Slide 8 is now revised. However, slide 9 still gives an example of the old practice. Answer ( Ana Lupe Cristán,  Library of Congress) :   Yes, the point is you DON’T HAVE to add it but you can if you want too.  It used to be mandatory now it is optional, plus you'll see a lot of them still in the LC/NAF and we do not expect catalogers to remove the dates.    Revised Slides as Discussed Above Compilations of one creator: Things to remember If your resource is a compilation by a single creator, determine if that compilation has become known...

RDA: Resource Description and Access  is the new standard for resource description and access designed for the digital world. Built on the foundations established by AACR2, RDA provides a comprehensive set of guidelines and instructions on resource description and access covering all types of content and media. Benefits of RDA include: A structure based on the conceptual models of FRBR (functional requirements for bibliographic data) and FRAD (functional requirements for authority data) to help catalog users find the information they need more easily A flexible framework for content description of digital resources that also serves the needs of libraries organizing traditional resources A better fit with emerging database technologies, enabling institutions to introduce efficiencies in data capture and storage retrievals RDA Background [RDA Toolkit]

Myth: “In the case of compilations of independent works, I must always record an analytical authorized access point for the predominant or first work, according to LC-PCC PS 25.1.” Reality: Not necessarily.  Related Work is “LC core” for compilations, but there are exceptions.  Be sure you understand when to include a Contents Note (505) and Analytical Access Point (7XX X2). <<<<<---------->>>>> Whole-part relationships for Compilations LC: Give MARC 505 contents note unless contents indicated in another part of the of the description (e.g., in MARC 245 $a because no collective title present) or unless burdensome              •i.e., There is no limit on the number of works in the contents note unless burdensome.  LC: Give one MARC 7XX analytical authorized access point for the predominant or first work when it represents a substantial part of the resource; cataloger judgment if...

Myth: “Creators and contributors perform the same function, and the instructions regarding them are interchangeable and found in the same chapter of RDA” Reality: Absolutely not true!  Creators are involved at the work level, and are covered in Chapter 19; contributors are involved at the expression level, and are covered in Chapter 20.  Further, if you use a relationship designator, be sure to use one appropriate to the “WEMI” level.

Myth: “If two different works have the same preferred title, there is a conflict that must be broken by adding the form, date, or place of origin of the work, or another distinguishing characteristic.” Reality: Not necessarily.  The authorized access point for the work is the combination of preferred title and creator (if any).  If the combination of these elements is not the same, there is no conflict.  Myth: “In determining whether there is a conflict, you should predict whether one is likely.” Reality: Wrong.  According to LC-PCC PS 6.27.1.9, you should only break actual existing conflicts. Myth: “In order to break a conflict in naming a work, the first preference is form of the work.  Then, if necessary, add date , place of origin , or other distinguishing characteristic -- in that order.” Reality: No, there is no ‘first preference’ for breaking conflicts.  Use whichever of those elements most effectively breaks the confli...

See RDA Rule 6 .2.2.10 for Recording the Preferred Title for a Compilation of Works of One Person, Family, or Corporate Body RDA Rule 6 .2.2.10.1 is for Complete Works RDA Rule 6 .2.2.10.2 is for Complete Works in a Single Form RDA Rule 6 .2.2.10.3 is for Other Compilations of Two or More Works Exceptions For compilations of musical works by a single composer, apply instead the instructions at 6.14.2.8 (RDA). For compilations of laws, etc., apply instead the instructions at 6.19.2.5.1 (RDA). For compilations of treaties, etc., apply instead the instructions at 6.19.2.8 (RDA).
