My perspectives
International descriptive cataloging standards development (RDA)
Defining/developing a next generation “catalog”
Cataloging manager at a smaller ARL institution

What can RDA accomplish? More flexible, up-to-date standard to
replace AACR2 Create a useful tool for catalogers Easier to train new catalogers Facilitate cataloging digital
resources in a library environment Promote international adoption of a
common standard

What has hampered RDA development?
Too much hype! Need for backwards compatibility Tight funding and timeline Success of standard tied to success
of the commercial product Consultation process needed
improvement

Consulting other communities
Which communities to consul? What do we gain? Ensuring successful
consultations
![Page 9: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Which communities to consult?
Those with similar missions to our own Archives, museums
Others whose metadata we want to share Publishing, metadata communities
Communities that can assist us

10
What do we gain?
Metadata interoperability Envision technology trends and
opportunities Improve standards development
process Help us undertake user research

Ensuring successful consultations
Must be at the appropriate level Often will need to be on-going, not
one-time events Need organizational structures and
funding to maintain relationships Allow for serendipity (this needs
funding too!)

Recommendations for RDA
Move forward with first release in 2009
Aggressively pursue development of RDA application profile, related efforts
Restructure JSC work to focus on consultation, not document editing

Future of controlled data
![Page 14: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Controlled data: what’s needed
Need identifiers! Evaluate potential based on well-
designed systems Provide better tools for catalogers Facilitate faceted browsing
![Page 15: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
New requirements for bibliographic data
![Page 16: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Creating richer interfaces
Web services to enrichment data Metadata to support faceted
browsing FRBR-informed navigation
Relator information Controlled access points
![Page 17: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Testing environments Encourage experimentation and
research Opportunities to develop new
system functionalities User research and usability testing Support open-source community Feed “lessons learned” into
standards development
![Page 18: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Sharing metadata Between repositories, similar
discovery environments Share local augmentation, results of
experimentation Distinguish standard from local
metadata, but share both Within other discovery environments
Components to “connect” systems
![Page 19: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What’s needed for future standards development?
![Page 20: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

What is our vision? Users have a positive experience
locating library resources Users are led to library resources
from wherever they happen to be online
Library “solutions” are seen as useful in the broader world
![Page 21: Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control Second Public Hearing](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815145550346895dbf655b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
A positive vision for bibliographic control
Catalogers/metadata professionals… Have effective tools, can focus on
intellectual work Participate in designing how systems
use metadata Contribute widely to improving shared
metadata Are confident that systems will use
their work effectively

What’s needed right now?
Positive, decisive future action Clearly redefine roles and
responsibilities Explain, justify trade-offs Articulate a positive vision for the
future of bibliographic control
