…need to relate the new work to the original work
Related Works
Super Work or Derivative Work technique
Super Work means that related Works are equal
Derivative Work means that related Works are
subordinate

Aggregates
• Final Report of the Working Group on Aggregates• Issued September 2011 by IFLA• Defined three types of aggregates
• Aggregate collections• Aggregate augmentations• Aggregates of parallels
• Manifestations composed of individual Works and Expressions
Reverse Trees
Allows users to find other works present within aggregate collections.

• Available for any library
• Original (source) database remains unaltered
• Qualifying records processed for inclusion in hosted database
• Web services provide seamless navigation from library’s
(source) catalog to the corresponding FRBR SaaS (target)
catalog, and back again.
RDA/FRBR SaaS
Your cataloging workflows need not be changed as updates to the FRBR SaaS database can be scheduled to run automatically.
Easy to implement…
Easy to use…
Your end-user doesn’t have to know anything about FRBR.
The interface provides an instantly recognizable, global picture of the variety of forms a given work may take.
All relationships between entities are clearly illustrated with an intuitive tree structure. No bibliographic instruction required!
In Production –
The Jewish Public Library, Montreal Canada
For testing –
The RDA/FRBR Sandbox
• A place to test/practice/play with RDA Implementation Scenario One
• Full Cataloging capability Original cataloging & copy cataloging FRBRizing of MARC records Authority Control Full Serials Control Add Item records
Thank you!
The RDA Sandbox
• Access to a RDA/FRBR database, and a Virtua Client with documentation.
• Database of approximately 500,000 records.
• 100 users have added and/or modified around 3,000 records
• Scheduled to run through July 31, 2013 (at least)
• Comments from users
“… we found the structure of records in the RDA Sandbox innovative as regards search and display …”
“… used it when teaching classes …. The students were rather fascinated to be able to see the full WEMI structure in the database.”
“…it helped them [the staff] to understand more about RDA and FRBR.”
“In my opinion the best thing about the Sandbox is its clarity. It makes it easy to explain the model. In a sense it has solved the problem with FRBR in MARC environment.”
The RDA Sandbox
