some conceptual differences & terminology
• “what are you cataloging?”– AACR2 0.24 “cardinal principle” - the item in
hand• reproduction exception & versions
– cultural objects - the item in hand for museums, the representation of that object for visual resource collections
![Page 3: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
“work”
• FRBR Group 1 entities (work, expression, manifestation, item)
• cultural objects– the “work” is what you are cataloging before
you can catalog an image of it– Work Type - broad classification
![Page 4: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“self-describing”
• books, serials and other printed resources• maps• videos (container)• not only self-describing but relatively permanent
![Page 5: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Anglo-American cataloguing rules(AACR)
• continuation of practice, maturity• rule book• description AND access: not separate nor
equivalent• data content standard
– expedites sharing of cataloging records / metadata
![Page 6: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
AACR
• organization of rule book aids understanding and use– general chapter followed by format chapters
and references– access points
![Page 7: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
AACR vs CCO
• CCO covers things that AACR doesn’t address, e.g., database structure, work and image, relationships (between works, with authorities)
• CCO is “new” though it builds on legacy
![Page 8: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Resource description and access (RDA)
• arrangement– pt. 1: resource description– pt. 2: relationships– pt. 3: access point control
• http://www.collectionscanada.ca/jsc/rdaprospectus.html
![Page 9: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MARC
• pour anything into MARC but AACR fits best• grew up with AACR and its predecessors• data structure standard
– expedites mapping
![Page 10: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
AACR & MARC
• working together and getting tangled• MARC alone doesn’t suffice• similarly, VRA Core needed rule book• voilà, CCO
![Page 11: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
AACR & MARC
• headings and attributes– attributes “embedded” in MARC tagging
• AACR needs other documentation– subject headings: SCM:SH
![Page 12: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AACR & MARC
• data content and data structure• data values
![Page 13: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AACR & LC/NAF
• AACR builds headings• MARC encodes headings• separation of “bib” and authority records
![Page 14: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
AACR & LC/NAF
• AACR2/NAF heading = Motherwell, Robert• ULAN “heading” = Motherwell, Robert
(American painter, 1915-1991)
![Page 15: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Functional requirements for authority records(FRAR)
• built on need for headings, not how an authorized entity can be represented in different data structures
• doesn’t solve my NAF/ULAN/Core-XML dilemma
![Page 17: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AACR & LC/NAF
• more significant use of authority information– subject hierarchies– geographic hierarchies– cultural context– subject context
![Page 18: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
NAF to SAF
• AACR-style used in SAF– headings– qualifiers– broader-term reference– relationship to topical subject headings
![Page 19: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
buildings
• generally established in SAF unless considered corporate body– churches– palazzi as venues– name change, historical subjects
![Page 20: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
other vocabularies
• AACR/MARC world expects headings– AAT facets
• noun form for subject heading• adjective for modifier
– ULAN biographical and contextual qualifiers, not just the name• qualifiers manifested as attributes in XML
![Page 21: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
mapping
• thesaurus to thesaurus in MARC– awkward– loses hierarchy
![Page 22: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AACR/MARC: beyond books
• bookish orientation (works best for books)• granularity expectation in opac
– opacs and indexes and finding aids and ...– web browsers don’t have such expectations
![Page 23: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
AACR/MARC: beyond books
• relation to other cataloging documentation– format guidelines (APPM, Betz, AMIM,
CONSER manual, cartographic materials manual)
– SCM:SH
![Page 24: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MARC AMC, APPM, DACS
• archives and mss cataloging tradition– description
• quasi-self-describing– closer to museum and VR than to books– finding aid as beginning of access to
collections, supplemented by interaction with archivist
– “collections” vs “groups” (CCO pt. 1, IV)
![Page 25: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Encoded Archival Description (EAD)
• hierarchy• good for collections, not so effective for
individual mss or objects, controlled archivally
![Page 26: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Functional requirements for bibliographic records (FRBR)
• retrospective application• provides theoretical basis for revision of
cataloging rules• assumes multiple iterations (work, expression,
manifestation, item)
![Page 27: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

iterations & relationships
• work, expression, manifestation, item• relationship of whole to whole• emphasis on WEMI rather than working together
![Page 29: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
FRVRR(pronounced “fervor”)
• visual resources needs are different• not so much whole to whole• work/part (altarpieces, built complexes, studies)• work/view (VR catalogers are rarely cataloging
the art work; CCO is mostly aimed at VR catalogers)
![Page 30: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
FROR
• object records in museum context• focus probably on accession unit
![Page 31: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
cataloging CULTURAL objects
• context• genre• iconography• function
– curricular/educational
![Page 32: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Wednesday, April 26The “C Word”: Is Contextualizing A Work of Art Essential to its Reception?
Can a work of art stand on its own? Is knowing the historical, cultural, political, and social background of the artwork important to deepening understanding? Dramaturgs and educational leaders present highly different views on the subject.
[from an email notice to New York Theatre Workshop subscribers, 22 April 2006]
![Page 33: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
FRBR tasks
• find• identify• select• obtain
![Page 34: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
“find” & “identify”
• who, what, where, when• what are you cataloging?
– AACR: item in hand– CCO: object in its context
![Page 35: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FRBR & AACR/RDA
• RDA more aware of FRBR theories• RDA more based on separation of description and
access, e.g., less cataloger intervention in basic description
![Page 36: CCO in Context: bibliographical & archival standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681606e550346895dcf96ba/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
sharing dreams
• thesaural hierarchies– aka (Getty web interface combined with
vocabularies)• social tagging / community cataloging /
folksonomies– STEVE = http://steve.museum
