Working Group 1A-1B - Personal Names - [List
of Group Members; Report of discussion issues: 1A
- 1B ; Report of recommendations made August 18, 2004: 1A
-1B ]
Goal: Harmonization in order to create a common
authority file (can be “virtual,” i.e., linked records
for the same entity)
Issues: Identification of different entities
– how are pseudonyms and other names for one or more entities
handled? How are fictional characters, deities, cartoon characters,
imaginary characters, etc. treated?
Differentiation of names – What to do
when it is not possible to differentiate? What are the Latin American
practices regarding structure of names? What are the consequences
of using undifferentiated names for the international sharing
of records? Other topics?
Working Group 2 – Corporate Bodies - [List
of Group Members; Report of discussion issues - Report
of recommendations made August 18, 2004]
Goal: Harmonization of entities and a list of
minimal practical proposals for corporate identity
Issues: How do current rules recognize when
a corporate body changes/when to make a new authority record for
the body? What links are made for earlier/later names of the corporate
body?
Other topics?
Working Group 3 – Seriality - [List
of Group Members; Report of discussion issues - Report of recommendations
made August 18, 2004]
Goal: Agreement on standards and identification
of where the rules do not agree with ISBD(CR) for what changes
constitute a new work/expression to justify a new record.
Issues: Are current codes/practices in alignment
with ISBD(CR) and if not, how do they differ and why? Can they
be brought together? Other topics?
Working Group 4 – Multipart Structures (composites
versus aggregates) - [List of
Group Members; Report of discussion issues - Report
of recommendations made August 18, 2004]
Goal: Optimize bibliographic sharing and fulfill
the principle of identifying all works.
Issues: In light of FRBR's "composites
and aggregates" and the current focus in the draft "Statement
of International Cataloguing Principles" on bibliographic
records being for manifestations, is there an approach we would
recommend for treating manifestations that appear in multiple
parts (volumes, components) where there are individual works within
works. Some of the current methods in current codes are the use
of contents notes, author/title added entries, and analytical
records to identify individual works/expressions contained in
a manifestation. How do these methods differ and why and can they
be harmonized? Other topics?
Working Group 5 – Uniform Titles - [List
of Group Members; Report of discussion issues - Report
of recommendations made August 18, 2004]
Goal: Harmonization of practice and proposals
for new approach to uniform titles used for collocation at the
level of form of expression and/or physical format. Provide a
more rational approach to the use of GMDs (General Material Designators)
to convey the mode of expression and/or physical format
Issues: Is there agreement on when to make
a uniform title and its collocating purpose? Is there consistency
on its structure? Is some of the information now conveyed in the
GMD more properly part of a uniform title for the work/expression
and others more properly part of the physical description area
(ISBD area 5)? GMDs are now a mix of terms for mode of expression
and format of the manifestation. Can we clarify the purpose of
the GMD and offer suggestions of where such information properly
belongs in a bibliographic record?
