In the course of discussions held in October 2005 between the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR and representatives of the publishing industry in the UK, the two groups identified resource categorization as an area of mutual interest and one in which there is substantial potential benefit to be gained through cooperation. A proposal for a joint initiative was subsequently approved and funded by the organizations sponsoring the development of RDA and ONIX, with additional support from the British Library. The objective is to develop a framework for categorizing resources in all media that will support the needs of both libraries and the publishing industry and will facilitate the transfer and use of resource description data across the two communities.Distinguishing Content from Carrier: The RDA/ONIX Framework for Resource Categorization

The RDA/ONIX framework successfully attains its aims of supporting the needs of libraries and the publishing industry for categorising resources by their content and carrier, and of facilitating interoperability between the metadata produced by those communities. It also improves resource discovery for users by clearly distinguishing those aspects of a resource which pertain to its content and those associated with the way the content is conveyed. This in turn meets the needs of users who are interested in a specific type of content, such as musical composition and performance, or a specific physical or digital format of a resource, such as PDF files, or both, such as PDF files of musical compositions or DVDs of musical performances.Serials and multiple versions, or the inexorable trend toward work-level displays

http://www.ala.org/alcts/lrtsAbstract:
The proliferation of multiple versions for bibliographic works presents numerous challenges to the cataloger and, by extension, to the catalog user. Fifteen years after the Multiple Versions Forum held in Airlie, Virginia, online public access catalog (OPAC) users continue to grapple with confusing displays representing numerous serial manifestations (i.e., versions) resulting from the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules’ (AACR2) cardinal principle (Rule 0.24). Two initiatives offer hope for more coherent OPAC displays in light of a renewed focus upon user needs: the ongoing revision of AACR2, and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions’ Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model. A third potential tool for improving OPAC displays exists within a series of standards that have developed to parallel library needs, and today offer a robust communications medium: the MARC 21 authority, bibliographic, and holdings formats. This paper summarizes the challenges posed by multiple versions and presents an analysis of current and emerging solutions.Notes:

This presentation was given at the introductory session of the cataloguing module at London Metropolitan University. It provides an outline of the main standards currently in use (AACRS/RDA and MARC 21) and sets them in the context of current thinking.RDA: A new cataloging standard for a digital future
