MARC21: ¿qué documentación usar?

Algunas preguntas:

• ¿Se catalogan solamente obras sueltas, o hay también algún concepto de “colección”?
• ¿Pueden leer documentación y ejemplos en inglés?

0A. Scope (General Rules)

These rules provide for the description of graphic materials that are of continuing or potential aesthetic or
documentary value. Specifically, they may apply to:

a) Single two-dimensional pictorial works that are original:

Typical examples are prints, posters, drawings, paintings, photographic prints, negatives, transparencies,
slides, etc. (Single photographic copies and photomechanical prints of such works are included as well.)
Single items may be unpublished (though they may exist in multiple copies) or published, in which case they
may or may not have a statement of publication, distribution, or printing.

b) Groups of single two-dimensional pictorial works:

For the purpose of these rules, these groups will be referred to as collections (whether two items or
millions). It is assumed that the items either:

(1) have been assembled by or have accumulated without plan around a person, family group, or corporate body
and been acquired by the repository as a collection, or

(2) have been assembled by the repository from its own accessions into a collection for cataloging purposes.

Collections may consist of both published and unpublished items, but the collection itself does not exist in
a published form. Material is considered to form a collection even if it is bound together, as in an album .
Collections may be accompanied by related manuscript and printed textual material, such as pamphlets,
catalogs, checklists, periodical tearsheets, and newspaper clippings, as well as non-print material, such as
sound recordings.

If a bound volume or portfolio (even one consisting primarily of graphics) is a bona fide monographic
publication with a title page or its equivalent, it is to be cataloged according to AACR 2, Chapters 1 and 2.
In such cases, it may be desirable to use the physical description and note area to describe the graphic
content of the publication.

• Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) (Society of American Archivists)

DACS is an output-neutral set of rules for describing archives, personal papers, and manuscript collections,
and can be applied to all material types. It is the US implementation of international standards (i.e., ISAD(G)
and ISAAR(CPF)) for the description of archival materials and their creators.

As a replacement for Archives, Personal Papers, and Manuscripts (APPM), DACS guides archivists and catalogers in
creating robust descriptive systems and descriptive records. DACS extends the skeletal rules for archival
materials that comprise chapter 4 of AACR2. It provides both specific rules for describing archives and
illustrates how these rules might be implemented in MARC and EAD format. It includes crosswalks to these and
other standards.

Archivists and catalogers can use DACS to describe archival materials at any level of specificity, from the
collection to the item level. DACS includes an overview of archival description (including the requirements
for effective multilevel description), outlines the elements that must be included at different levels of
description, and describes how those elements should be implemented.

In addition, DACS provides specific guidance in describing creators of archival material, constructing archival
authority records, and recording forms of names. DACS may also be used in conjunction with other standards to
treat aspects of description unique to specific media types.

Categories for the Description of Works of Art (CDWA) describes the content of art databases by articulating a
conceptual framework for describing and accessing information about works of art, architecture, other material
culture, groups and collections of works, and related images. The CDWA includes 512 categories and subcategories.
A small subset of categories are considered core in that they represent the minimum information necessary to
identify and describe a work. The CDWA includes discussions, basic guidelines for cataloging, and examples.

XML Schema Content for Contributing Records via the OAI Harvesting Protocol (Version 1.1)

What is CDWA Lite?

CDWA Lite is an XML schema to describe core records for works of art and material culture based on the Categories for the Description of Works of Art (CDWA) and Cataloging Cultural Objects: A Guide to Describing Cultural Works and Their Images (CCO).

Purpose of this schema

The purpose of this schema is to describe a format for core records for works of art and material culture, based on the data elements and guidelines contained in the CDWA and CCO. (CCO is based on a subset of the CDWA categories and VRA Core.) CDWA Lite records are intended for contribution to union catalogs and other repositories using the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) harvesting protocol. Elements 1 through 19 in this schema are for descriptive metadata, based on CDWA and CCO. Elements 20 through 22 deal with administrative metadata. All attributes are optional unless otherwise noted.

• VRA Core homepage: “VRA Core 4.0 is a data standard for the cultural heritage community that was developed by the Visual Resources Association's Data Standards Committee. It consists of a metadata element set (units of information such as title, location, date, etc.), as well as an initial blueprint for how those elements can be hierarchically structured. The element set provides a categorical organization for the description of works of visual culture as well as the images that document them.”

• Encoded Archival Description. “The EAD Document Type Definition (DTD) is a standard for encoding archival finding aids using Extensible Markup Language (XML). The standard is maintained in the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress (LC) in partnership with the Society of American Archivists.”
