FRANAR Working Group meeting (on FRAD) (Functional Requirements for Authority Data)

"[...]
- They’re going to add a relationship between Family and Corporate Body.
- There was a lengthy discussion about Person-to-Name (or Family- and Corporate Body-to-Name relations) and Name-to-Name relations. The way FRAD works, Person is an entity and Name is an entity. They are related. A Person can have a pseudonym. That is another kind of Name and the relation might be hasPseudonym/isPseudonymOf. But what if a Person has a Name in an early form and another Name in a later form? Are the Names directly related (they are both entities, so they can be) or are they only indirectly related, through the Person? They discussed this kind of thing for almost an hour and a half. Section 5.4 will be changed and some relations pulled out into a new Name-to-Name relationship section.
- Some stuff from the FRSAR meeting was gone over. RDF modelling and reversible relationship names are important. “isKnownBy” is hard to reverse but something like “isAppellationOf” and “hasAppellation” might work.

"- I went by the VTLS booth and saw a demo of their FRBRization service I mentioned a little while ago. I was quite impressed. It’s far beyond what any other vendor is doing. I took some pictures but can’t get them uploaded from where I am so my report will have to wait.
- In the American Library Association booth there’s a screencast running that shows how the online Resource Description and Access (RDA) system will look, and some of how it will work. I was told it will get posted on the web soon. There’s no example in the demo of how to actually catalogue an item, I assume because that bit isn’t working yet, especially since RDA isn’t finished, but if it goes well it looks like it could be a good system for managing and customizing a pretty complicated business. The ways workflows can be handled will be worth watching.
- Athena Salaba and Yin Zhang have a poster up about their research project, summarizing the results from their Delphi analysis."
