 Description   

In scope

  • Baseline data graph with authority files from MARC Authority records (LCNAF, LCSH, etc.)
  • Ongoing stream to keep data graph and authority files in synch
  • Indexing of authority values to support lookup locally
  • Regenerate MARC derived records automatically when we receive a change to an existing authority
  • Ability to assign an authority as part of Java transformation
    • Assign a confidence level to authority link (TBD)

REFER UTILITY DATABASES

Purpose / Objective

As a cataloger, I need the ability to access external repositories of entity data (e.g. name authorities) in order to make cataloging decisions for completing changes made to a BIBFRAME resource

Current state / Problem statement

  • Marva integrates with name authority files (e.g. LCNAF), allowing the cataloger to select values for the resource being described
  • Other resources and applications mentioned by catalogers include ClassWeb and OCLC Connexion

In scope

  • Embedding access to online controlled vocabulary resources into the BIBFRAME cataloging workflow, including:
    • Creator of the Work  (Library of Congress Name Authority File - LCNAF)
    • Other Contributors  (LCNAF)
    • Form / Genre   (Library of Congress Genre / Forms Terms - LCGFT)
    • Subject of the Work   (Library of Congress Subject Heading)
  • Controlled drop down lists
    • Place of Origin
    • Notes about the Work
    • Content Type
    • Language Code
    • Illustrative Content
    • Color Content
    • Supplementary Content 
  • Pulling up other resources through a browser and how this function is presented to the cataloger

  • Related to 'Edit'

Considerations / Questions

When MARC records from FOLIO SRS are automatically transformed and added as new resource descriptions, values for lookup components will be included as literals and not with the actual links themselves. 

Catalogers will be able to manually add the corresponding link into the resource description through Marva. 

For resource descriptions not edited by catalogers, discuss the impact of exporting resource descriptions for the purpose of loading into id.loc.gov.
