Target Audience: Information technology librarians, technical services librarians
Learning Outcomes:
1) Participants will glean a comprehensive view of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographical Records (FRBR) family models, especially the third model for subject authority data.
2) Participants will be able to explain how the Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD) conceptual model can be applied to international and local subject authority data.
The Resource Description and Access (RDA) description standard incorporated the Functional Requirements for Bibliographical Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) models, with plans to include Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD) in the near future. This program will use non-technical terminology to provide an overview of all three models and discuss how they may be harmonized to create one comprehensive model. The third model published in June 2011, Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD), provides a clearly defined, structured frame of reference for relating subject authority records to the needs of the users and to allow for the development of international sharing and data use of subject authority records both within and beyond the library sector.
