RDA and the IFLA Library Reference Model (LRM) Gordon Dunsire Chair, RDA Steering Committee Lightning presentation at LD4P / LD4L-Labs Community Input Meeting, Stanford University April 24-25, 2017
LRM and RDA Consolidation and extension of FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD; compatible with CIDOC-CRM All* RDA entities are compatible refinements of LRM * except Person (non-humans excluded) RDA refines LRM attributes and relationships (strings and things) as RDF sub-properties. RDA "4-fold path" extension accommodates strings and things
4-fold path in linked data The 4-fold path supports catalogue cards, flat file schema, RDBMS, and linked data (RDA database implementation scenarios) external property (non-FRBR) unconstrained property (no domain, no range) subPropertyOf "Unstructured description" "Structured description" SES/VES Datatype property (literal range) range canonical property (no range) "Identifier" (local) subPropertyOf Object property (entity range) IRI range
RDA Reference: LD4P frameworks Atomic audit trail Deprecation policy Entities, element sets, value vocabularies Semantic versioning: Application roll-back RDA editors: Secretary Translators Open Metadata Registry RDA/RDF Developers RDA Vocabularies (GitHub) Developers RDA RIMMF3 data editor RDA Toolkit content RDA Registry Vocabulary Server Trainers; Prototypers Developers Applications Cataloguers
Strategic issues for linked open data Identity (IRI) management The "linked" bit Provenance management The "open" bit Otherwise, it's just "data"
