RDA for Music: Scores

RDA for Music
Notated music
(Scores)
Kevin Kishimoto, University of Chicago
Nancy Lorimer, Stanford University
Music Library Association Workshop
2014 July 31

Today’s workshop
• Background on RDA, FRBR, Toolkit, etc.
• We demonstrate how to catalog a score,
element by element
• You try your hand at cataloging a score,
element by element; Q&A
• We examine a few issues in detail and show
some examples; Q&A

Out of scope
• Subject headings for music
• Form/Genre headings for music
• Medium of Performance terms for music
• LC classification of music materials
• Creating authority records

Why RDA?
• Developed as a successor to AACR2

What RDA is... and what it isn’t
RDA is a content standard
• what information to record
• ... not where to record
• ... not how to display
RDA instructions
• record individual data elements
• not create bibliographic / authority records

Why RDA?
• Better compatible with linked-data technologies
• Could be used by communities outside of
libraries

AACR2
Chapter 1 - General rules
Chapter 2 - Books, pamphlets, & printed sheets
Chapter 3 - Cartographic materials
Chapter 4 - Manuscripts
Chapter 5 - Music [i.e. scores]
Chapter 6 - Sound recordings
Chapter 7 - Motion pictures and videorecordings
...and so on...

RDA
• Not organized by format; all instructions
together in single sequence
• Use whichever data elements apply to the
format being cataloged

Why RDA?
• Better compatible with linked-data technologies
• Could be used by communities outside of
libraries
• More format agnostic (but not entirely)
• Based on FRBR

FRBR (1998)
Functional Requirement for Bibliographic Records
• Conceptual model of the “bibliographic universe”
• Three Groups of entities
• Group 1: Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item
(WEMI)
• Group 2: Person, Family, Corporate body
• Group 3: Concept, Object, Event, Place
• Relationships between entities
• Primary relationships: Group 1 with Group 1
• Responsibility relationships: Group 1 with Group 2
• Subject relationships: Works with Groups 3, 2, 1

FRBR Group 1 Entities
Work = Music in conceptual form
Creator of Work

Expression = visual representation of Work
• each format is a distinct Expression
• each edited version is a distinct Expression

Manifestation = Physical or digital
embodiment of the Expression
(publication of the notation)

Item = individual physical or digital
instance of the Manifestation

WORK:

EXPRESSION:

FRBR question
The score of Mozart’s Don Giovanni published by
Breitkopf & Härtel in 1880 as part of its complete
Werke edition has been reprinted several times,
most notably by both Edwards and Kalmus, and is
also available digitally on IMSLP. All of these
versions are distinct:
a) Works
b) Expressions
c) Manifestations
d) Items

FRBR question
Many different editors and translators have worked
to published various editions of Don Giovanni,
some in full score and some vocal scores. These
versions are all distinct:
a) Works
b) Expressions
c) Manifestations
d) Items

RDA Toolkit : Organization
Organized into three general areas
• Attributes area -- Sections 1-4
• Relationships area -- Sections 5-10
• Appendices & Glossary

RDA Toolkit : Terminology
• Core - required element
• Core if - required element if certain conditions are
met (or not met)
• Alternative - alternative guideline applied by
choice of cataloging agency / cataloger
• Optional addition / Optional omission - option
to provide more / less information
• Exception - under certain conditions, do NOT
apply the immediately preceding guideline

RDA Toolkit : Terminology
RDA guidelines will instruct to either “record” or
“transcribe” data
• Record - encode data according to guidelines,
but not necessarily how it appears on resource
• Transcribe - take what appears on the source
of information (apply general guidelines on
capitalization, punctuation, symbols, etc.)

RDA Toolkit : other tabs
