It looks like you've uncovered a missing property: publisher. I think this could be because I had placed it in the RDA element schema (
http://RDVocab.info/Elements/Publisher) so it didn't end up in the RDA roles schema, which may be where you were looking, Alistair. Diane, should we delete it from 'elements' and add it to 'roles'? Although, as you know, my preference would be to merge the roles and elements into a single schema somehow. Is there a way we could code them so they could be a single schema but we could pull them out by different criteria - like FRBR level or some category?

Hi all,
I've just spend another day working on the RDA cataloguer scenarios,
here's what I've done.
I reviewed and revised the RDF expression of scenario 1 in light of a
small number of changes to the RDA elements vocabulary since
2008-10-11 (when I did the last revisition):
http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/Scenarios/1
I created a first draft RDF expression of scenarios 2 and 3:
http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/Scenarios/2
http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/Scenarios/3
The analysis at the bottom of each of these pages checks that all
classes and properties used in the scenario are defined in either the
RDA Elements, RDA Roles or FRBR Core vocabularies. It also shows any
major issues for these vocabularies, e.g. where a property is required
but not defined somewhere -- the fact that there are very few of these
demonstrates that the vocabularies are sufficient to express the given
scenarios.
Some further notes are at
http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/AlistairMiles/AnalysisNotes20081112
I haven't gone through these new scenarios yet to try to
systematically capture issues that they raise, I think it's probably
better to work through the remaining cataloger scenarios (4, 5, 6)
then go through and do a systematic analysis, capturing issues in a
central place.
That's all for now.
Cheers,
Alistair
