Accessing the RDA Toolkit


Logging into RDA Toolkit

There are 3 way of logging into the RDA Toolkit

1. Institutional Site Subscription Login

2. Individual Subscription Login

3. IP Recognition for Site Subscription licence

Logging into the RDA Toolkit

Logging into the RDA Toolkit Institutional Site Subscription Login Enter user name and password for the institutional site

subscription

Logging into the RDA Toolkit Institutional Site Subscription Login

Institutional name is displayed when logged in Enter Profile Name and Password and click login if you have

a profile created Click on create profile to create a new profile

Institutional and single users name is displayed when logged in The individual or solo user subscriptions only allows for a single

profile to be created. Therefore users are logged into the site and profile at the same

time. The “My Profile”, “Support” and “Log out” of profile buttons are

displayed

Logging into the RDA ToolkitIndividual Subscription Login

IP recognition for site subscription licence identifies when an institution has a site licence by recognizing the IP address of the computers in this institution

Using this system the RDA toolkit has an automatic login when using computers at this institution

In order to login from an external computer a proxy server will be used to authenticate users from the institution with the IP recognition site license

Logging into the RDA ToolkitIP Recognition for Site Subscription licence

Use the a proxy server to authenticate as a user from an institution with an IP recognition site subscription

Logging into the RDA ToolkitIP Recognition for Site Subscription licence

Logging into the RDA ToolkitIP Recognition for Site Subscription licence Once authenticated through the proxy server, then logging

into RDA toolkit is automatic Identified by the name of the institution with the licence in

top right hand corner of screen

RDA Element Set View

The “Tools” tab has documents that assist in accessing RDA content.

One of these documents in the “Tools” tab is the RDA Element Set View

RDA Element Set View

RDA uses Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Description (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) as a theoretical framework

Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) is a conceptual “entity-relationship” model created by IFLA that relates user tasks of retrieval and access in online library catalogues and bibliographic databases.1

The user tasks are:2

* Find * Identify

* Select* Obtain

It represents a more holistic approach to retrieval and access as the relationships between the entities provide links to navigate through the hierarchy of relationships.1

There are 3 groups of FRBR entities Group 1 entities deal with the output of artistic or intellectual endeavours which are

Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item Group 2 entities deal with the person or corporate body responsible for the output

of artistic or intellectual endeavours (Group 1 entities) Group 3 entities deal with the subject of output of the artistic or intellectual

endeavour include concepts, objects, events, places

RDA Element Set View: FRBR

For each of the FRBR entities the Related Instructions and Related Encoding for each of the Core, Enhanced and Specialized for each of the Attributes and Primary, Core and Enhanced for the Relationships

RDA Element Set View: FRBR

RDA uses Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Description (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) as a theoretical framework1

Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), formerly known as Functional Requirements for Authority Records (FRAR) is a conceptual entity-relationship model created by IFLA for relating the data that are recorded in library authority records to the needs of the users of those records and facilitate and sharing of that data.1

The conceptual work and future implementations are aimed at supporting four tasks, frequently executed by users in a library1

The four user tasks are:1

* Find * Identify

* Contextualize* Justify

RDA Element Set View: FRAD

For the FRAD entity -- Name the Related Instructions and Related Encoding for each of the Attributes for Name are available

RDA Mappings


One of these documents in the “Tools” tab is the RDA Mappings

RDA is a content standard meaning that it contains guidelines and instructions on recording bibliographic data that describes resources and the presentation or encoding of data is not part of the main text of RDA.1

RDA Mappings

1 RDA 0.1

Machine Readable Cataloguing (MARC) is the most popular encoding standard for encoding bibliographic data for library catalogues.

The RDA Mappings tool contains a maps RDA elements to corresponding MARC 21 bibliographic elements and a map from MARC 21 bibliographic elements to RDA elements1

While there are many instances where there is a one-to-one correspondence between RDA and MARC 21, there are cases where the level of granularity in the MARC 21 element set and RDA element set differs.1

There were some new MARC 21 bibliographic data fields that were created for the implementation of RDA

Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) is a schema for a bibliographic element set that may be used for a variety of purposes, and particularly for library applications.1

MODS was developed by Library of Congress' Network Development and Standards Office.2

MODS was designed as a compromise between the complexity of the MARC format used by libraries and the extreme simplicity of Dublin Core metadata.2

ERDS and Schemas

ERDs and Schemas

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) Schemas


Two of these documents in the “Tools” tab is the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) and Schemas

FRBR and FRAD are entity relationship models

These entity relationship models may be illustrated in diagrams

The Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) tool includes an overview of the relationship of FRBR and FRAD, diagrams of Core, Enhanced and Specialized for each of the Attributes and Primary, Core and Enhanced for the Relationships for each of the FRBR entities and diagrams of Core, Enhanced and Specialized for the FRAD Attribute Name

ERDs and Schemas: Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD): RDA Relationship Overview

ERDs and Schemas: Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

Most of the schemas that are available in the RDA toolkit are XML based schemas

XML schemas are a way to define the structure, content and, the semantics of XML documents in this case in relation to the RDA elements1

The schemas that are available are the Core, Enhanced, Specialized and Universal

The Core Schema as defined by the Joint Steering Committee (JSC), the core element set is a subset of the RDA element set that specifies the minimum set of data consistent with RDA compliance. Therefore, it reflects those attributes and relationships which attained a "high" rating for the user tasks defined by FRBR and FRAD and is a floor, not a ceiling.2

ERDs and Schemas: Schemas

1 From Wikipedia2 RDA Core Element Set Schema

The Enhanced Schema Enhanced schema contains elements present in basic schema, plus optional elements common to multiple types of resources' bibliographic records.1

The Specialized Schema are created for particular types of resources that include elements that are particular to that type of resource

The Specialized Schema which are available in the RDA toolkit are: Cartographic Schema, Cultural Object Schema, Music Schema and Serials Schema

Universal schema contains all elements present in any schema available in the RDA toolkit. It is the master set of elements.2
