John Hostage said: I think most people would agree that AACR2 was based on the ISBD. The essential characteristics were the 8 areas of description, a prescribed order of elements, and prescribed punctuation. Although some claim that ISBD is one of the foundations of RDA, I see RDA as a fair

To clarify how far down the road ISBD and RDA are in RDF representations: The ISBD element set and value vocabularies in English and Spanish have been in "published" status in the Open Metadata Registry since March 2012. Croatian and Italian translations of the value vocabularies are in development

Carolyn, Don't demean your knowledge of linked data. The message is actually quite simple, which is that there is a need similar to that of MARC records to be able to say who created the data so that you can estimate the authoritativeness of the data. Whether or not the 040 will figure in thi

I stand corrected. Actually, I don't speak " MARC21 schema for linked data and Semantic Web applications", so, I spoke out of ignorance of the full potential impact for metadata applications. I appreciate the informative link Gordon sent out. I have been trying to develop a basic understanding o

It also matters when it comes to semantic analysis of the MARC21 schema for linked data and Semantic Web applications. See the last paragraph of my blog post: http://managemetadata.com/blog/2012/06/07/by-passing-taggregations/ It matters even more when the provenance of the billions of data tripl

"I have been following this thread about the 040. Does it really matter what order the subfields are placed in in the 040 in an online environment?" It matters greatly (at least theoretically) to those who enjoy assigning blame to specific cataloging agencies for what they perceive to be bad ca
