Phase I

Scope

• Phase I will include MARC21 fields considered core in the PCC Bibliographic Standard Record (BSR)
• Phase I will exclude diachronic works (continuing resources)
• Phase I will feature rudimentary treatments of aggregates, meant to be built upon in future phases
  • Distinguish Group 1 resources (non-aggregates, parallel aggregates, and augmentation aggregates) from Group 2 resources (collection aggregates)
  • Process Group 1 resources
  • Group 2 resources can be treated in Phase II (Phase II pending confirmation)
• Phase I will not include entity reconciliation or deduplication

Timeline

• March 3, 2021 - May 30, 2025

Deliverables

  • README files at multiple levels of a GitHub release to guide use and interpretation
  • XSLT stylesheets with transformation code and accompanying documentation
    • Includes initial treatment of aggregates and reproductions
    • Initial guidelines for post-processing (serializing output into additional formats)
  • Spreadsheets representing mapping of MARC21 bibliographic data to LRM/RDA/RDF data
  • Sample data (MARC21 and LRM/RDA/RDF)
