[DCRM-L] MARC / Bibframe

[Washington, Brittney]

Hi Allison,

The Bibliographic Standards Committee of RBMS has been keeping up with linked data developments. The Art and Rare Materials Ontology extension<https://art-and-rare-materials-bf-ext.github.io/arm/v1.0/> has been developed over some years to account for rare materials and special collection library needs. We have also just formed a Sinopia<https://sinopia.io/> (a linked data editor) working group to investigate creating BSC-approved resource templates for rare books.

Outside of RBMS, the LD4 community<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ld4.io&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1629216788469000&usg=AFQjCNEzzZckwyoYtTdxFzlYfho_R4sFGw> has a Rare Materials Affinity Group that meets regularly and I would encourage anyone who’s interested in this topic to attend. You can join the email list<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://groups.google.com/g/ld4-rare-materials&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1629216788469000&usg=AFQjCNH3vOQ-bUsxx0Q0SK6pJywBKSBXRw> or the slack #rareaffinitygrp at https://ld4.slack.com<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ld4.slack.com/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1629216788469000&usg=AFQjCNHGpESlVy0Qk6sfX23Wr7NplPFJ4g>.

Hi all:

"MARC needs to go. People have known that for twenty years".

I am involved in a search committee for candidates for head of metadata at my university.
I love MARC. What I have been of Bibframe (lack of controlled vocab), I am not terribly fond of.

Apparently LC is going to abandon MARC in October or November of next year.
How are cataloguers who use DCRM standards planning on dealing with this?
Is RBMS planning for this almost looking change?
And what are some resources which are available to us DCRM cataloguers ?

How do you feel about this impending change?

Thanks for your replies.
Allison
