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 and reproductions, meant to be built upon in future phases
  • Current goals: 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 I will not include entity reconciliation or deduplication

Timeline

• End of 2024

Deliverables

• An official Github release of Marc-to-RDA Mapping Project, Phase 1 resources, featuring:
  • README files at multiple levels of a Github release to guide use and interpretation
  • XSLT stylesheets with transformation code
  • Spreadsheets representing mapping of MARC21 bibliographic data to LRM/RDA/RDF data
  • Sample data (MARC21 and LRM/RDA/RDF)
  • Accompanying materials, possibly including
    • Additional vocabularies and metadata properties published by the University of Washington Libraries
    • Non-mapping materials
  • Time permitting, preprocessing code to mark suspected aggregates or exclude aggregates from input data
  • Time permitting, selections from the Github wiki, issues, and discussions, such as an edited version of the Decisions Index
