Genre/Form Terms for Music
Having finished the initial
implementation of genre/form terms for moving image materials, LC will now be
moving on to radio genre/form terms.
LC is nearly at the point
where they are ready to solicit MLA input and possible participation in
implementation of genre/form music headings.
During the MLA meeting in February, members of
New genre/form terms for
music can be submitted as topical terms (150) by institutions participating in
the
ALCTS/SAC Subcommittee on
Genre/Form Implementation
This subcommittee has been
formed to act as a facilitator of two-way communication between LC CPSO and
cataloging communities such as music with an interest in genre/form headings. The committee’s charge includes: acting as an
advisory body to LC regarding genre/form implementation, and coordinating
interested parties in the cooperative creation of genre/form authority records
and retrospective conversion of topical headings (15) to genre/form headings
(155). MLA/SAS chair Beth Flood is
representing the music community on this subcommittee.
FRSAR (Functional
Requirements for Subject Authority Records)
The FRSAR group has developed
definitions of user tasks, a proposal for a new model, and a plan for a final
report. The new model regarding group 3
(subject) entities determined the following outcomes. Like FRBR, FRSAR uses the definition: work has subject “thema”, where “thema” is
the idea, or the subject itself. Also,
FRSAR proposes a new relationship: thema has appelation “nomen”, where “nomen”
is the terminology used to refer to the subject/idea. A final draft report from the FRSAR group
will be ready in spring 2008.
