Semantic interoperability of library linked data: ISBD and RDA
Gordon Dunsire, Françoise Leresche, Mirna WillerPresented at Libraries In the Digital Age (LIDA) 2012
Zadar, Croatia, 18 - 22 June 2012
Overview
• Confusing range of physical and digital information objects
• General Material Designation• Opportunity for review with development of RDA
and ISBD consolidated edition• RDA/ONIX Framework• Hub architecture: ISBD & RDA• RDF representations of RDA & ISBD• Utility for resource discovery
Media explosion
ISBD 1977-“The purpose of the general material designation is to indicate, in general
terms and at an early point in the description, the class of materials to
which the publication belongs.”

Attributes of content and carrier Primary values for key attributes
Methodology for constructing categories on a common & interoperable basis
Example: RDA content type
Character:
Sensory mode:
Image dimensionality:
Image movement:
“language”
“hearing”
“not applicable”
“not applicable”
Base content type:“spoken word”
Mapping to the Framework
Definition: “content expressed through the sound of the human voice talking; examples include talking books, radio broadcasts, oral history recordings, and audio recordings of plays, whether recorded in analogue or digital format”
Example: ISBD content form “spoken word”
Other sources of information include scope notes and semantic domain and range constraints
Example: ISBD content form
Character:
Sensory mode:
Image dimensionality:
Image movement:
“language”
“hearing”
“not applicable”
“not applicable”
Base content type!
“izgovorena riječ”
