Metadata : BNB name headings and their NACO equivalents. A project to support users of BNB records in managing the migration of their catalogues to MARC 21 providing:

Over 1300 frequent name headings occurring in the British National Bibliography (BNB) matched with headings established under the Name Authorities Co-operative (NACO) component of the Program for Co-operative Cataloguing (PCC) and intended for use in MARC 21 cataloguing.

The project is in four parts:

• To the user, describing the selection method and presentation of headings
• Alphabetical sequence of BNB and equivalent NACO headings showing if they are the same or different or if a NACO heading is not available
• Frequency listing of headings according to how often they occur in BNB records
• Statistical analysis of the matching of BNB and NACO headings

Thanks Ian for pointing this out to me. [Catalogablog]  1:21:29 PM   [Feedback ]  

OpenURL : Link Resolvers : DC & OpenURL. The OpenURL community has posted, for comments, the paper Dublin Core Community Profile (DCCP) for Simple Dublin Core in KEV Format.

This profile will allow the transport of metadata using the fifteen Dublin Core elements as key/value pairs on an OpenURL. It is intended to provide an OpenURL capability for users of Dublin Core metadata that is a simple transformation from the Dublin Core metadata.
