ALCTS Continuing Resources Standards Update Forum

Sunday, June 24, 2012
10:30am-12:00pm, noon
Hyatt-Grand Ballroom B



The Continuing Resources Standards Update Forum presents the latest news 
on standards and best practices affecting the management of continuing 
resources at American Library Association conferences. The session is 
presented by the ALA ALCTS Continuing Resources Section, Continuing 
Resources Standards Committee and generously sponsored by Swets.



We are pleased to present:



Regina Romano Reynolds, Director of the US ISSN Center at the Library of 
Congress

"ISSN, FRBR and RDA: harmonies and dissonances." Can RDA, ISSN, ISBD 
make beautiful music together? Learn about “harmonizing” discordant 
notes so there’s one ISSN per bibliographic record and one record per 
ISSN. Regina Reynolds will discuss steps being considered to resolve or 
mitigate the areas currently not harmonized.

Todd Carpenter, Executive Director of the National Information Standards 
Organization (NISO)

As web resources are created, updated, deleted, or moved, web 
applications face challenges to remain in lockstep with the repository's 
change dynamics. Several approaches exist to help meet this challenge 
for use cases where "good enough" synchronization is acceptable. But 
when more rigorous synchronization, closer to real-time, is required 
commonly accepted Web-based solutions remain illusive. Motivated by the 
need to synchronize resources for applications in the realm of cultural 
heritage and research communication, NISO and the Open Archives 
Initiative have recently launched the ResourceSync project that aims at 
designing an approach for resource synchronization, which is aligned 
with the Web Architecture and that has a fair chance of adoption by 
different communities. This talk will discuss some use cases and will 
provide a perspective on the resource synchronization problem that 
resulted from initial discussions.



John Hostage, Authorities and Database Integrity Librarian of the 
Harvard Law School Library

John will talk about how IFLA is working to bring together the various 
standards that have been developed by its sections and prepare them for 
an environment marked by linked data and the semantic web.
