Reproductions in MARC2RDA Mapping and Transformation

Minting Entities

  • First, evaluate whether Condition 1 or Condition 2 under Conditions for Mapping below, is present in the record. These are the markers of a reproduction record that has used a combined original and reproduction descriptive practice which we need to separate out.
  • If either Condition is present, mint an IRI for the Original Manifestation (OriginalM)
  • To relate the OriginalM to the IRI for the manifestation being described (ReproM):
  • Check the value for Form of Item in 008 (008/23 for format Books, Computer Files, Continuing Resources, Music, and Mixed Materials; 008/29 Maps or Visual Materials, which use 008/29).
  • If value is "o" (letter o lowercase, online), use property [ReproM] http://rdaregistry.info/Elements/m/P30136 //"is electronic reproduction of manifestation of"// [OriginalM]
  • If value is not "o", use property [ReproM] http://rdaregistry.info/Elements/m/P30043 //"is reproduction of manifestation of"// [OriginalM]
  • Relate the OriginalM to the Expression which has been minted for the ReproM, using property http://rdaregistry.info/Elements/m/P30139 //"Has expression manifested"//

Conditions for Mapping

Condition 1 (provider-neutral online electronic records):

  • 588 (Source of description note) if a 588 tag is present in which $a contains the text string "version record."

Condition 2 ((microforms, online electronic access, POD and photocopy):

  • 533 (Reproduction note) if a 533 tag is present in which $a does not contain the text string "also available as."

Check for condition one, if not present, check for condition 2.

Transformation Guidelines

In the mapping spreadsheet, under Conditions, the phrase "Check for Reproduction Conditions 1 and 2" will be added for all mapping rows that need to be checked, (different for tag 300). A short phrase will be inserted into the Transformation Instructions beginning "If a Reproduction condition is present..."

For most tags in 008, 250, 260, 264, 300, and 8xx series fields, the instruction will be:

  • ... apply mapping and transformation to OriginalM, not ReproM."

For 008, Form of Item (008/23 or 29), special instructions conditional on the value present.

  • Condition column: "Check for Reproduction Conditions 1 and 2"
  • Transformation: ""If a Reproduction condition is present, AND if value != a, b, c, o, or r, apply mapping and transformation to OriginalM, not ReproM"

Only a, b, c, o, or r are specified (valid) in PCC instructions for this byte for microforms, electronic reproductions or provider neutral records. These values describe the reproduction. Other values might appear if the record is "cloned" and the byte is not updated from what was in the original manifestation record.

For 245, the instruction will be:

  • ... apply mapping/transformation to both OriginalM and ReproM." //this is because both Manifestations need to have a title //

For tag 300, the Condition column needs to say "Check for Reproduction Condition 2 only" and the transform instruction would be "If a Reproduction condition is present, apply mapping/transformation to OriginalM, not ReproM". This is because Provider Neutral instructions say to describe the reproduction in 300, but other instructions do not.
