Item Open Access CC:DA/TF/2024 Extent Paper Response/3 CC:DA Task Force to prepare the response to the RSC’s Extent Discussion Paper(2024-08-29) Swenson, SharolynWe recognize the tremendous effort in producing the draft RSC/ExtentWG/2024/1. It is clear that creating Manifestation: extent of manifestation as a superelement encompasses various aspects of a resource, and that adding subelements would facilitate machine-processing of the information recorded there. A clear distinction between carrier and content aspects of extent will be accomplished. The remainder of this report contains our recommendations or suggestions to clarify the wording in the discussion paper and other minor edits. We recommend that the Music Library Association be given a chance to review this discussion paper because many of the changes involve aspects that are unique to their cataloging community. As is generally the case in Official RDA, the need for abstract language in the discussion paper sacrifices easy understanding. Additional examples within the discussion paper would lead to a better understanding of how these subelements are envisioned. Since extent inherently concerns quantification, there should be an explicit rationale for using the term “number of” in the name of some proposed elements and not in others.Item Open Access CC:DA/TF/Personal Names/1 Task Force: CC:DA Task Force on Personal Names in Official RDA(2023-09-07)Charge and roster for the CC:DA Task Force on Personal Names in Official RDAItem Open Access CC:DA/ARLIS-3R Task Force/2019/1 Proposal to add the elements ”curator agent of work” and “curator agent of work of” to RDA(2019-07-22) Puccio, AndreaAdd the agent element sets “curator agent of work” and “curator agent of work of” to RDA to describe curators who play a role at the work level. Modify the labels and definitions of the element sets “curator agent” and “curator agent of” to clearly distinguish curators who play a role at the item level from those who play a role at the work level.Item Open Access CC:DA/TF/ISBDM/3 Final Report of the CC:DA Task Force to Review ISBD for Manifestation(2024-07-09) Glennan, KathyThe report contains our recommendations or suggestions to improve the accessibility, usability, functionality, consistency, and overall user experience of the ISBD for Manifestation (ISBDM) standard. Our comments are arranged in the following categories: • Functionality as an online resource • Editorial recommendations • Relationship to IFLA LRM – terminology • Value vocabulary recommendations • Editorial correctionsItem Open Access CC:DA/TF/FRBR-Library Reference Model/3 Report of the Task Force for the Review of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records – Library Reference Model (FRBR-LRM)(2016-04-08) Shoemaker, BethThe document states that it's a “high-level conceptual reference model” based on “entity-relationship modelling” (2.1). The document needs to explain what these terms mean and reference the standards for these models and concepts. In order to judge the model on its own terms, the reader has to know what language it is speaking and what rules it is following. Other terms that need to be defined are: “end user,” “cardinality,” “sub-types,” “domain,” “range,” “superclass”, “instance”, “instance of an entity”, and “disjoint entity”. For example, “domain” and “range” have specific meanings in mathematics and are used in many other fields as well, but in 4.3.1 they are possibly being used in the RDF sense, but this is nowhere stated, and RDF is not (yet) part of the ordinary vocabulary in the library field, the presumptive audience of this document. A glossary of terms and acronyms would greatly improve legibility and comprehension of the document, and is strongly recommended. References to outside documents, such as in 2.4, should be supported by footnotes. Most members of the Task Force firmly oppose limiting the entity “person” or any of the other subentities of “agent” to “real” individuals or entities, that is, entities that exist or have existed in the real universe. This contradicts the “principle of representation”. The model needs to allow accurate description of the bibliographic universe, in which non-human and fictitious entities are represented as capable of agency. We suggest replacing “Person” with “Individual” in the model. This change would increase the model’s flexibility to accommodate the needs of diverse communities.Item Open Access CC:DA/TF/Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (2015)/3 Report of the Task Force for the Review of Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (2015)(2015-05-20) Porter, GayleAfter a careful review, we approve the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (2015) as a useful and important resource for catalogers of all types of materials. We have identified a number of general and specific comments and concerns to consider. We think that the revision does some valuable work updating the original ICP to reflect changes in the cataloging world that include moving from a world of bibliographic and authority records to a web of statements of bibliographic and authority data in the form of linked data, as well as incorporating insights from FRAD and FRSAD.Item Open Access CC:DA/TF/Statement of International Cataloguing Principles/4 Final Report of the Task Force(2008-06-11) Allgood, Julian EverettThe Task Force interpreted the scope of the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles document fairly broadly. Task Force members presume these Principles encompass existing cataloging traditions and library resources, in addition to those non-published and non-self-describing resources comprising library collections of today and tomorrow. In addition, the Task Force tried to reconcile specific sections of these principles that appear to combine separate cataloging traditions in contradictory and confusing ways (e.g., Section 6, Authority Records). While the April 10, 2008 version of the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles represents an improvement over earlier drafts, several Task Force members expressed continuing unease with portions of the current language in the statement, which they found imprecise and inconsistent in some sections, with visible conceptual gaps.Item Open Access CC:DA/TF/Statement of International Cataloguing Principles/3 Interim Report of the Task Force(2007-06-13) Allgood, Julian EverettThe Task Force interpreted the intended scope of the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles draft fairly broadly. Task Force members presume these Principles should encompass existing cataloging traditions and library resources, as well as those non-published and non-self-describing resources comprising the library collections of today and tomorrow. The Task Force also grappled with the meaning and “reach” of such pragmatic issues as language and script within these Principles. These concerns and this attention toward the cataloguers of tomorrow form the basis of this report.Item Open Access ALCTS Task Force to Define Bibliographic Access in the Electronic Environment: Charge and Roster(1995-09) Younger, JenniferItem Open Access CC:DA/TF/Rule 0.24/7/1998 June Task Force on Rule 0.24: Task Force Activities, June 1998(1998-06-26) Yee, MarthaItem Open Access CC:DA/TF/Rule 0.24/7/1999 June Task Force on Rule 0.24: Task Force Activities, June 1999(1999-06-25) Yee, Martha
