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.
