    This Fast Track Proposal was submitted by Chelsea Hoover, Music Library Association Content Standards Subcommittee, via RSC North America Representative Robert Maxwell. It was discussed by the RDA Steering Committee between 26 August and 1 September 2024, and voted on between 2-6 September 2024. There was one amendment suggested (FT2024-09 (3a)) to provide a cross-reference from the non-preferred thoroughbass notation to the preferred figured bass notation. Otherwise the proposal was accepted unanimously by the RSC, and the following changes will be implemented by the Technical Team Liaison Officer as soon as possible.

    The text sets out the decisions taken by the RDA Steering Committee during its meeting 15-18 April 2024. At the January 2024 Meeting of the RSC, FT2024-01 – Definition for “printer agent of”, etc. – was discussed (RSC/Minutes/444-455 Item 448.1). Discussion was wide-ranging, beyond the scope of the proposal itself. When it came to voting, the Secretary asked the 4 Yes/No questions required in the Fast Track itself and also whether the RSC would like a further Fast Track to be prepared for the other issue they had raised, which was concerned with the use of the phrase “content from type or plates”. The RSC voted unanimously in favour of such a Fast Track, and an ACTION ITEM was placed on the RSC Secretary to prepare FT2024-04 on this topic (RSC/Minutes/444-455 Item 448.1.3).

    This Fast Track proposed modifications of the definitions for aggregate and aggregating work, as well as revisions to the guidance for aggregates in the RDA Toolkit, informed by observations from LIS trainers in teaching RDA contacted by Education and Orientation Officer. It was discussed by the RDA Steering Committee during its meeting, 15-18 July 2024 (RSC/Minutes/469-482 Item 471.2). After praising the work of the Technical Team Liaison Officer and the Education and Orientation Officer, the RSC requested that the Secretary present the text as a full proposal. Accordingly, RSC/TechnicalWG/2024/2 was published on 29 August, and archived with stable URI on ALAIR. It will be discussed in the November meeting of the RSC.

    A member of the wider community queried the current wording of an option for transcribing symbols. Although it is clear what cataloguers should do based on the option and its examples, the option does contain an implied condition and it is easy to understand why the community member queried its grammar.

    Colleagues in the Europe Region reported that the RDA Regional Encoding Vocabulary (https://www.rdaregistry.info/termList/RDARegionalEncoding/) does not have a term that describes the regional lockout for video games that covers those regions of the globe that use the PAL video format standard for colour analog video signals. The Technical Team Liaison Officer proposed adding this to the vocabulary. Voting members of the RSC approved the new text submitted by the Technical Team Liaison Officer as RSC/FT2024-06 (RSC/Minutes/456-468 Item 461.3).

    The text below sets out the decisions taken by the RDA Steering Committee during its meeting 15-18 April 2024. The Technical Team Liaison Officer alerted the RSC to the need to update the Data Provenance Guidance in the RDA Toolkit. The acceptance of the Collections Model in RDA has led to a slight revision of the categorization of metadata works. A metadata description set was previously defined as “One or more metadata statements that describe and relate individual instances of one or more entities”. It is now defined as “A metadata work that is an aggregating work that is a plan to select and arrange one or more expressions of one or more metadata statements that describe one or more individual instances of RDA entities and embody them in an aggregate. The plan may be part of an application profile”. The concept of a metadata statement is essentially unchanged. Voting members of the RSC approved the new text submitted by the Technical Team Liaison Officer as RSC/FT2024-05 (RSC/Minutes/456-468 Item 461.2).

    (RDA Steering Committee, 2024-02-17) Welsh, Anne
    FT2024-03 was based on feedback from the community in the Guidelines on normalized transcription in the section on Numbers (RDA 60.48.42.92). Several conditions referring to specific languages were highlighted, with the suggestion that these be moved to Community Resources. Following discussion, members of the RSC were asked to vote on the removal of specific condition options from base RDA to Community Resources and on two different versions of the wording to be used in Numbers (RDA 60.48.42.92).

    FT2024-02 sought to remove text from the existing definitions of five elements to bring their wording in line with their inverses. In the course of the discussion, it became clear that the issue raised could not be fixed through a Fast Track and the Technical Working Group was tasked (RSC Minutes 445-455 Item 448.2) with reviewing the elements: • issuing agent of • issuing collective agent of • issuing family of • issuing corporate body of • issuing person of

    FT2024-01 sought to provide text to the existing definitions of four elements to bring their wording in line with their inverses. In the course of the discussion, it became clear that there was a further issue outwith the scope of this Fast Track: whether printed content has to be “manufactured … from type or plates.”
