Dear colleagues,
We're planning the March issue of Catapult and are looking for your contributions!
The tentative theme is 'future-forward'- as inspired by Kevin Ford's recent visit and his talk on BIBFRAME.
(Reminder- the webcast is still available to view here: http://webcast.gigtv.com.au/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/lianza-catsig)
Do you have views on RDF, BIBFRAME, linked data, the future of the library catalogue and cataloguing, or examples of how your library is planning or has implemented new systems?
Also, on a broader tangent - if you've read something interesting, started a new role, attended a workshop or completed a cataloguing project and would like to share, we'd love to include it too. The deadline for contributions will be Friday 4th March.
Please get in touch with ideas to either/ both of us at:
Tamsyn Bayliss tbayliss(a)aucklandmuseum.com<mailto:tbayliss@aucklandmuseum.com>
Jessie Moir jessiem(a)hdc.govt.nz<mailto:jessiem@hdc.govt.nz>
Many thanks,
Tamsyn and Jessie

Subject: [BIBFRAME] BIBFRAME vocabulary 2.0 available
We are pleased to finally be able to announce the publication of the BIBFRAME vocabulary 2.0 that has been under development <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/> . This has been a major process as we have tried to take into consideration a number of sources of comment on the 1.0 vocabulary: the many community comments over the last 2 years on the BIBFRAME listserv, advice from invited experts, issues resulting from our own pilot with the 1.0 vocabulary, and comments received on GitHub where conversion programs for MARC to BIBRAME were posted. We appreciate all those who took the time to review and experiment and comment on the 1.0 vocabulary.
As part of converting BIBFRAME to vocabulary 2.0 we have made revisions to the web site. Documents that do not pertain to 2.0 were archived or marked as 1.0 on the site and those that are new or continue to pertain were created and posted or revised, respectively. The 2.0 proposals that were published for comment last year have been revised per comments and turned into “specs” for 2.0 <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/index.html>. They are useful to answer questions about the vocabulary that a straight reading will bring up. Also the papers on RDF Conventions <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/bibframe2-rdf-conventions.html> and on Guidelines <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/bibframe2-rdf-conventions.html> for expressing data in RDF are important for understanding the properties and classes incorporated in the vocabulary.
The Library is moving forward toward revising tools and conversions for 2.0 with the prospect of experimenting with it in a new pilot late in the year. Comments and corrections are welcome!

Good afternoon,
I was looking for something else and stumbled upon this recently uploaded video and thought I’d share in case it’s useful:
RDA for Copy Catalogers: The Basics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z2RR6JaA7c
I keep forgetting to keep an eye on the ALCTS Continuing Education You Tube channel. There are all sorts of (free) gems in there!
Cheers!

Subject: [BIBFRAME] Library of Congress BIBFRAME Pilot update
--Cross-posting, apologies for duplication--
The Library of Congress launched a BIBFRAME Pilot in June 2015, and is bringing the first phase of the pilot to a staggered close on March 31, 2016.
This message summarizes the results of the first phase of the LC BIBFRAME Pilot, and identifies future developments.
· Forty-four Library of Congress catalogers participated in the BIBFRAME Pilot, describing resources in BIBFRAME for monographs, notated music, serials, maps, atlases, sound recordings, and audio visual materials using Resource Description & Access (RDA)
· BIBFRAME RDA profiles were used to describe these resources
· The Library of Congress Network Development and MARC Standards Office made the BIBFRAME RDA profiles available on a public demo site<http://bibframe.org/tools/editor/> in October 2015
· BIBFRAME Vocabulary 1.0 was the underpinning of the RDA profiles, with new vocabulary terms based on RDA identified during the pilot and marked for inclusion in BIBFRAME Vocabulary 2.0
· 891 BIBFRAME descriptions were captured during the pilot and are available for analysis and exploration by the broader information community in this zip file<http://bibframe.org/static/data/lc-bibframe-pilot.zip>. Each description is presented in three different serializations: JSON-LD, N3, and RDFXML
· The LC BIBFRAME Pilot, Phase one, will be complete for those catalogers working with monographs, notated music, serials, maps, and atlases on March 31, 2016
· A second LC BIBFRAME Pilot will start in fiscal 2017, when BIBFRAME Vocabulary 2.0 will be tested with a variety of formats
· The LC BIBFRAME Pilot, Phase one will continue for those working with sound recordings and audio visual materials until May 31, 2016
· Library of Congress Prints and Photograph catalogers began testing BIBFRAME for visual images described with DCRM(G): Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Graphics) in March 2016, and will continue testing BIBFRAME until July 31, 2016
· The Library of Congress has released a statement on its role in BIBFRAME development. The statement is posted on the Library of Congress PCC BIBFRAME page<http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/bibframe/bibframe-and-pcc.html>
· The Library of Congress will continue to share internal BIBFRAME developments with the broader information community as the pilots continue, and welcomes comments and feedback on these developments
