[DCRM-L] Review of RDA Revision Proposals: Week 1

Tue Aug 11 09:51:03 MDT 2015

I agree with Nina and Deborah; the CCC proposal for punctuation is an improvement.

In your comments to CC:DA, you might also mention the following:

·         RDA’s current guidelines on punctuation transcription are already weak in regards to the principle of representation. Any suggestion that fidelity to marks of punctuation in a transcription is important for identification of the resource is severely undercut by RDA’s instructions to a) omit punctuation that separates data elements, and b) add punctuation, as necessary, for clarity.

·         The alternative proposed by CCC is in line with what the RBMS PS intend to instruct on punctuation transcription.

Thanks for working on the comments, Matthew.

Matthew,

6JSC/CCC/16 makes perfect sense, even if we are creeping into “cataloger’s judgement” territory. When following the alternative, I would like to have a mandatory note that the punctuation has been normalized, although I don’t think it’s necessary to go into detail about what is changed (as they did in p. 7 of the proposal).

6JSC/CCC/19: also makes sense.

Nina

Hello all,

ALA recently sent our RBMS-sponsored proposal on references/citations, now known as 6JSC/ALA/45, along with 8 other proposals and one discussion paper to the JSC, so thank you for your input!

Over the next few weeks, CC:DA will be evaluating and approving responses to nearly 30 additional proposals and papers submitted to the JSC by other constituencies. At first glance, a few of the proposals being reviewed by CC:DA this week have potentially substantial implications for rare materials, so your feedback is especially valuable on these two proposals by THURSDAY, AUGUST 13:

6JSC/CCC/16: Transcription of punctuation and symbols (1.7.3, 1.7.5) http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/?p=2257<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__alcts.ala.org_ccdablog_-3Fp-3D2257&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=H4YvLWNiTl265vxWUaeER5fsu2NZp0W9qyEQBDfiTv8&s=8iu5Dj2jrQL01rv9GBK6N3euIKCM3yZtuUapW3pQMs8&e=>

6JSC/CCC/19: Parallel language elements (1.7.7) http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/?p=2260<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__alcts.ala.org_ccdablog_-3Fp-3D2260&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=H4YvLWNiTl265vxWUaeER5fsu2NZp0W9qyEQBDfiTv8&s=s9RVDGOZc-rmTXPsY7-iVAc1nOYesDJRsyWSDjGX1H0&e=>

Please share your comments on the DCRM-L list or send them directly to me at matthew.haugen at columbia.edu<mailto:matthew.haugen at columbia.edu>

As the RBMS liaison to CC:DA I don't vote, but I am expected to comment on behalf of RBMS. Our collective expertise is valuable in evaluating these proposals and shaping the ALA response which is based on the comments posted during the week.

I'll be in touch again next week on the next batch of proposals, but if you want to look ahead, or to read any of the proposals that don't seem to have rare-specific implications (comments are welcome on those, too), all of the current proposals are available on the JSC website here: http://rda-jsc.org/newjscdocs<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__rda-2Djsc.org_newjscdocs&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=H4YvLWNiTl265vxWUaeER5fsu2NZp0W9qyEQBDfiTv8&s=T_Mkn-WX3LUZabi7eOHIP8Gyt6QRGIZCp5XWIRoVfu4&e=>

I am also attempting to keep a record of the most relevant proposals and DCRM/RBMS responses<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__dcrmrda.pbworks.com_w_page_82990804_CCDA-2520and-2520JSC-253A-2520selected-2520working-2520docs&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=H4YvLWNiTl265vxWUaeER5fsu2NZp0W9qyEQBDfiTv8&s=sarQfxEZerNMLc6jFpzvGBdCILaZ3XBzNOWXRlB3KYI&e=> on the DCRM-RDA wiki but it's not up to date yet.

All of the proposals and constituency responses will be discussed by the JSC at their annual meeting in Edinburgh, November 2-6, 2015. Approved revisions are expected to be implemented in the April 2016 toolkit update.

Thanks!

Matt
