JSC matters
Kevin reported on recent JSC activities.
Rewording RDA text
There is a revised schedule for the rewording. Chapters 9 and 10 will be finished for the April release, and will be followed by Chapters 11, 6, 7 and 17 (in that order).
RDA proposals
All current proposals have been revised and reposted to the JSC website, including the corrected revision to ACOC/1 mentioned above. There is no final consensus as yet. These will be discussed at a teleconference in early February.
Fast track proposals log
There is now a fast track proposals log on the Wiki page hosted by the NLA, for registering minor changes to RDA. Most of the changes currently in the log have been agreed to.
Publication of vocabularies
These are nearly finished and will be published soon.
Other news
ISSN/ISBD final outcomes are completed.
Christine Frodl from the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek has expressed interest in seeing ACOC’s RDA Communication Strategy.
The JSC Face to Face meeting will be in October 2012.
ACOC Face to Face Meeting
ACOC members agreed that annual Face to Face meetings should continue, and that the next one should cover:
- Progression of arrangements for the next Seminar
- FRBR/RDA training
The timing of the next Face to Face needs to feed into JSC timeframes and the timing of the Seminar. Timing is also affected by the appointment of a new ALIA director, as the Face to Face meeting needs to be approved by ALIA, and an updated Memorandum of Understanding between the NLA and ALIA also needs to be completed.
2012 ACOC Seminar
Date and topics for an ACOC Seminar were discussed, but no decision was made.
Other business
Deirdre advised that Aileen Weir from the National Library is on the ALIA Board.
Next meeting:
TBA – planned for early March.
Meeting closed at 2.07pm
