The BIBFRAME standard (v. 2.7) lays out four types of metadata captured as administrative data associated with a resource.

• Creation of a resource

• Updating a resource

• Converting a MARC record into a resource

• General (other) metadata

The scope of this card is limited to administrative data defined for “Updating a resource.”

Updating a resource

• Date and time when resource updated → 005 | bf:date

• Institution that updated the resource → Last occurrence of 040 $d | bf:descriptionModifier

• Status → Update of resource metadata always includes bf:status of “changed”

The MARC 005 field (Date and Time of Latest Transaction) is made up of 16 characters that indicate the date and time of the latest record transaction and serve as a version identifier for the record. MARC documentation

The MARC 040 field (Cataloging Source) captures information about the institution the originally cataloged the record, or modified the record, the language of cataloging etc. For the Updating of resource administrative data, only the value of the 040 $d is required. MARC documentation.

NOTE: Need to understand how multiple values for the equivalent of 040 is handled, so that the ‘last occurrence’ value can be identified for the MARC derived record.
