library linked data: ISBD and RDA
Gordon Dunsire, Françoise Leresche, Mirna Willer
Presented at Libraries In the Digital Age (LIDA) 2012
Zadar, Croatia, 18 - 22 June 2012
Overview
• Confusing range of physical and digital
information objects
• General Material Designation
• Opportunity for review with development of RDA
and ISBD consolidated edition
• RDA/ONIX Framework
• Hub architecture: ISBD & RDA
• RDF representations of RDA & ISBD
• Utility for resource discovery

Online Information Exchange:
Publishing industry metadata
Attributes of content and carrier
Primary values for key attributes
Methodology for constructing categories
on a common & interoperable basis
Example: RDA content type
Character:
“language”
Sensory mode:
“hearing”
Image dimensionality:
“not applicable”
Image movement:
“not applicable”
Base content type:
“spoken word”
Mapping to the Framework
Example: ISBD content form “spoken word”
Definition: “content expressed through the
sound of the human voice talking; examples
include talking books, radio broadcasts, oral
history recordings, and audio recordings of
plays, whether recorded in analogue or digital
format”
Other sources of information include scope
notes and semantic domain and range
constraints
Example: ISBD content form
“izgovorena riječ”
= “spoken word@en”
Base content type!
Character:
“language”
Sensory mode:
“hearing”
Image dimensionality:
“not applicable”
Image movement:
“not applicable”
Framework as hub
RDA
“spoken word”
Ch:“language”
SM:“hearing”
ID:“not applicable”
ISBD
“spoken word”
IM:“not applicable”
Ch:“language”
“tactile text”
SM:“touch”
ID:“not applicable”
IM:“not applicable”
Sensory specification
qualifier
“text”
+ “(tactile)”
Utility: Query filter
Find resources with content that is accessed by hearing
Filter resources with content type mapped to
Sensory mode=“Hearing”
Resource 1
Resource 2
isbd:”has content form”
isbd: “spoken word”
isbd:”has content form”
isbd: “sounds”
rof:”has

rof: “hearing”
Resource 3
Resource 4
rda:”content type”
rda:”content type”
rda: “spoken word”
rda: “performed music”
