Structure AACR2 Part I - Description Part II - Headings, Uniform titles, References RDA Attributes (of entities) Relationships (between entities)

Finding rules AACR2 Start by identifying the type of resource RDA Start by identifying the data element title (of music score)  attribute (2.3) title (of compact disc)  attribute (2.3) title (of MP3 file)  attribute (2.3) music score  music (chapt 5) compact disc  sound recordings (chapt 6) MP3  music? sound? electronic? … (chapt. 5?, 6? 9?) PROBLEM!

RDA  Structure based on FRBR model (Works Expressions Manifestations Items … )  Supports user needs and user tasks (Find Identify Select Obtain)  Covers authority and bibliographic data  Record independent units of data (machine readable, not just human readable)

RDA’s main changes  Core and “Core if” elements (no more levels of description)  Take what you see (fewer abbreviations, no more “rule of 3”)  Content, Media & Carrier types (no more GMD)  Expanded sources of information

Take what you see  ‘transcribe’ really does mean transcribe  In addition: few abbreviations: pages, not p.; colour, not col.; illustrations, not ill. Why change?  helps to accurately identify the item in hand  allows the use of other sources of data (e.g. scanned or publisher supplied) On resourceIn catalogue record Volume 3 Vol. 3 accompanied

Three new data elements  Content type (Core)  Media type (Optional)  Carrier type (Core)  Recorded as terms or codes  RDA covers content not presentation or display Why change?  Clearer identification of format

GMD vs Content & Carrier AACR2 General Material Designation (GMD) e.g. [sound recording] [music] RDA Content type & carrier type e.g. Content type: performed music Carrier type: audio disc Content type: notated music Carrier type: volume

Sources of information 1.Identify the boundaries of the resource  Includes storage medium and housing (where integral to resource)  Includes accompanying material for comprehensive descriptions 2. Choose preferred source of information  includes permanent labels on resources  excludes labels on accompanying material

Sources of information 2 If information comes from outside the resource itself it should be marked “either by means of a note or by some other means (e.g. through coding or the use of square brackets)” The benefit:  Square brackets always mean the information comes from outside the resource.  Makes identification easier.

Music rule changes  Editions (include musical presentation statement)  Definitions (score, chorus score, vocal score)  New elements in authority data (medium of performance, numeric designation, key)

Edition statement Scope extended to include –Musical presentation statements –Statements of responsibility indicating arrangement or version e.g.“vocal score …” “ In case of doubt... consider the presence of... a statement indicating … –(g) A particular voice range or format for notated music as evidence that such a statement is a designation of edition”

Changes in definitions of scores  Score: Graphical, symbolic, or word- based musical notation representing the sounds of all the parts of an ensemble or a work for solo performer or electronic media  miniature score, use study score  short score & close score included with condensed score

New attributes for works and expressions  Data used to create headings for works and expressions is now recorded  New elements specific to records for musical works  Medium of performance  Numeric designation of a musical work  Key

New attributes for works and expressions, example  Authorised access point for the work Beethoven, Ludwig van, Sonatas, piano, no. 14, op. 27, no. 2, C# minor  Data elements in the authority record for the work  Medium of performance piano  Numeric designation no. 14, op. 27, no. 2  Key C# minor
