Caveats Instructions for non-textual media in RDA

less developed Need more clarity, testing, tweaking No best practices and community

standards yet OLAC (http://olacinc.org/) will be a good

resource RDA itself also in flux

Caveats My best interpretations at the moment

Even the experts disagree about some things

Watch for future developments and emerging best practices

Definitions: Content TypeTwo-Dimensional Moving Image Content expressed through images intended

to be perceived as moving, in two dimensions. Includes motion pictures (using live action and/or animation), film and video recordings of performances, events, etc., video games, etc., other than those intended to be perceived in three dimensions.


5

Definitions: Content TypeThree-Dimensional Moving Image Content expressed through images

intended to be perceived as moving, in three dimensions. Includes 3-D motion pictures (using live action and/or animation), 3-D video games, etc.


6

Definitions: Content TypeCartographic Moving Image Cartographic content expressed through

images intended to be perceived as moving, in two dimensions. Includes satellite images of the Earth or other celestial bodies in motion.

Preferred Source of Info2.2.2.3 Resources Consisting of Moving Images

1. Title frame(s) or screen(s)


8


2. a) label bearing a title that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource, excluding accompanying textual material or a container Example: a label on a videodisc

-OR- 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

9


-OR- 2. b) embedded metadata in textual form

that contains a title (e.g., metadata embedded in an MPEG video file).

How does this apply to DVDs? Where does the disc menu fit in?


10


3. Another source forming part of the resource itself, giving preference to sources in which the information is formally presented (includes guides and other accompanying material for comprehensive descriptions and publisher-supplied containers)


11


1. AlternativeUse an eye-readable label bearing a title that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource (excluding accompanying textual material or a container) in preference to the title frame or frames, or title screen or screens.


12

Preferred Source of InfoSome fallout for information not best takenfrom the title frames

Source of information for publication statement in order of preference

a) same source as the title properb) another source within the resource itself

(disc label if using title frames, container, guide)

c) another source from 2.2.4 (external source)


13

Preferred Source of InfoSome fallout for identifying wherestatements of responsibility come from

AACR2 SOR prescribed source = chief source =

source of title proper If SOR not from prescribed source = bracketsRDA SOR: Prefer source of title proper IF SOR anywhere on resource = no brackets Can combine multiple sources in one SOR

with no indication of separate sources3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

14

Note on Source of Title2.20.2.3 Note on source of title

Make a note on the source from which the title proper is taken if it is a source other than the title frame or title screen of a resource consisting of moving images. [NOT CORE]


15

Parallel Titles2.3.3.2 Sources of Information Take parallel titles proper from any

source within the resource. Could include optional subtitles on

DVDs No limits in RDA. What to do when there

are many parallel titles?


16

34


Corporate Bodies Associated with ManifestationNo relationship designators for publisher, distributors because they are elements in RDA

Should still be able to identify based on: RDA: “If none of the terms listed in this appendix is

appropriate or sufficiently specific, use a term indicating the nature of the relationship as concisely as possible”

Or by using a term from a standard vocabulary such as the MARC vocabulary at http://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/. Either terms or codes may be used

In most cases, use only: production company publisher/distributor (element-level relationships)

Language Expressions

RDA 6.11.1.3Record the language or languages of the expression using an appropriate term or terms in the language preferred by the agency creating the data. Select terms from a standard list of names of languages, if available.

RDA 6.11.1.4If a single expression of a work involves more than one language, record each of the languages.3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

64


RDA 0.6.3

When recording data identifying an expression, include as a minimum the elements listed below that are applicable to that expression.

Identifier for the expressionContent typeLanguage of expression


65


RDA 0.6.3

Record the elements either as additions to the access point representing the expression, as separate elements, or as both.


66


LCPS 0.6.3

LC practice: When … recording an element to differentiate one work or expression from another work or expression or from a name for a person, family, or corporate body, always add the element to the access point.


67


RDA’s Intent?

Only spoken or sung languages in access points? Include subtitle languages? Intertitles? Distinguish soundtracks vs. subtitles? Distinguish plain English subtitles vs. captions and

subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH)?


68


Typical DVD

English soundtrack French soundtrack English SDH Spanish subtitles


69


Possibilities we considered: #1

Only give soundtrack languages; consider each language option to be a separate expression

Dracula. $l EnglishDracula. $l French


70


Possibilities we considered: #2 (incorrect)

Only give soundtrack languages; consider the DVD as a whole to be a separate expression

Dracula. $l English & French

Per RDA this is not a correct interpretation and the different soundtracks are different expressions


71


Possibilities we considered: #3

Give both soundtrack and subtitle languages without distinction; consider each language option to be a separate expression

Dracula. $l EnglishDracula. $l FrenchDracula. $l Spanish


72

Language ExpressionsPossibilities we considered: # 4Give both soundtrack and subtitle languages with some sort of distinction (not explicit in RDA, but perhaps could be considered other distinguishing information); consider each language option to be a separate expression

Dracula. $l English (soundtrack)Dracula. $l English (subtitles)Dracula. $l French (soundtrack)Dracula. $l Spanish (subtitles)


73

Language ExpressionsPossibilities we considered: #5 (incorrect)Give both soundtrack and subtitle options languages without distinction; consider the DVD as a whole to be a separate expression. Note that this is indistinguishable from a film, such as Babel, that was made with a mixed language soundtrack and is incorrect per RDA 6.11.1.4.

75

Language ExpressionsRDA 17.3

If there is more than one expression of the work, record the expression manifested.

If more than one expression is embodied in the manifestation, only the predominant or first-named expression manifested is required.


76

Language ExpressionsRDA 17.3

Option to identify only the predominant or first‐named expression (which in the case of DVDs would be largely arbitrary)

Undermines the usefulness of these expression access points; not predictable for users

Users have no way to know why some language options get expression access points qualified by language and others don’t.


77


Imagine an outlier with multiple soundtracks and ten or fifteen subtitle tracks

Do people browse titles this way for movies and expect a list by language?

Or do 008/lang and 041 limiters potentially work better?


78


Might be better for users if we stick primarily to work access points for moving images and record distinguishing elements like language in another element
