Folks:
Despite the quiet on the list, there has been plenty of activity going
on. For instance:
* Technical analysis of the first of the "Cataloger Scenarios" is available on the
DCMI/RDA Task Group pages. To view, go to the Scenarios
(http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/Scenarios) and click the link
available at the head of the first scenario. At the bottom of that page are
lists of properties used (and not used) and a graphical version of the
example.
* RDA Value Vocabularies (controlled term lists) have been added to the NSDL Registry.
Take a look at:
* RDA Applied Material
(http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/36.html)
* RDA Base Material
(http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/35.html)
* RDA Colour (http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/32.html)
* RDA Font Size (http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/40.html)
* RDA Layout (http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/34.html)
* RDA Media Type
(http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/37.html)
* RDA Polarity (http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/38.html)
* RDA Production Method
(http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/33.html)
* RDA Reduction Ratio
(http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/39.html)
The links above land you on the page that describes each vocabulary--to
look at the terms contained in each, click on the "concepts" tab.
You'll note that some of the vocabularies have definitions, and some
don't (we added them when we had them).
Please feel free to question, comment, complain, etc. as you wish.
