“…Moreover the "term [metadata] is often used interchangeably with what is often more correctly called data, since all information is ultimately about something else, which is conceivable as information" (Summers, 2013). In this manner the catalog becomes a kind of graph (Murray & Tillett, 2011;Peponakis, 2012) and its networked structure transforms it from lists of flat metadata records to knowledge structures and semantic networks.…”

This study argues that metadata of library catalogs can stand autonomously, providing valuable information detached from the resources they point to and, therefore, could be used as data in the context of the Semantic Web. We present an analysis of this perception followed by an implementation proposal for a Master's thesis and PhD dissertation repository. The analysis builds on the flexibility of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and takes into account the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) in order to reveal the latent academic network by linking its entities to a meaningful and computationally processable set. Current library catalogs retrieve documents to find answers, whereas in our approach catalogs can provide answers that could not be found in any specific document.

“…Some researchers investigated RDA to clarify the differences between the FRBR/FRAD models and a model that reflects RDA directly. Peponakis,4 Riva and Oliver, 5 and Taniguchi 6 have tried to clarify the differences between them in their own way. RDA Toolkit, the online version of RDA, itself provides Entity-Relationship diagrams corresponding to RDA, as a reference resource to help understand RDA.…”

I examine user tasks and their related issues in the model that reflects Resource Description and Access (RDA) directly, which complements prior studies that dealt mainly with entities and their attributes and relationships. First, the definitions of user tasks in Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), and RDA, respectively, are reviewed. Then, mappings between attributes and relationships of the RDA entities to the user tasks are proposed for the RDA-based model; the mapping covering Group 1 and 2 entities, and that for the other entities. The resultant RDA mappings and those shown in FRBR and FRAD are compared, which reveals the superiority of the former mappings.

Modeling Resource Description Tasks in RDA

This study aims to model the resource description tasks that are performed by catalogers. First, a model of authority data creator tasks is derived from Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), since FRAD partially includes such task modeling. Second, modeling of resource description tasks in line with Resource Description and Access (RDA) is conducted to cover the whole resource description tasks including those on descriptive data as well as those on authority data, and also to reflect RDA instructions as much as possible. Third, the modeling of resource description tasks is compared with that of user tasks in order to understand their differences.
