IFLA十年“国际编目条例”之梦

惦记着IFLA的“一部国际编目条例”,重新浏览了编目部自2001年起的战略规划。IFLA编目部当年雄心勃勃,在五大洲召开编目专家会议,会开完了,新的《国际编目规则声明》也出台了,但年复一年,那部设想中的国际编目条例基本上可说是偃旗息鼓了。

Strategic Plan, 2001-2003 首次提出要开发一部国际编目条例,从编目专家国际会议开始
4. Promote the development of an international cataloguing code for bibliographic description and access.
4.1 Plan and conduct an international conference of cataloguing experts as the first stage of conferences towards an international cataloguing code for bibliographic description and access, taking into account subject access as relevant (in collaboration with the Classification and Indexing Section).

Strategic Plan, 2004-2005 开发国际编目条例成为编目部首要目标
1. Promote the development of an international cataloguing code for bibliographic description and access.
1.1 Plan and conduct additional sessions of IME ICC (International Meeting of Experts for an International Cataloguing Code), as the first stage towards an international cataloguing code for bibliographic description and access, taking into account subject cataloguing as relevant. Collaborate with the Bibliography Section and the Classification and Indexing section as appropriate.

Strategic Plan 2006-2007 开发国际编目条例仍是首要目标,打算成立工作组(如FRBR…那样)
1. Promote the development of an international cataloguing code for bibliographic description and access.
1.6 Begin work of the Working Group on an International Cataloguing Code for description and access, taking into account subject cataloguing as relevant. Collaborate with the Bibliography Section, the Classification and Indexing Section, and other sections as appropriate. Include review of existing and recently updated codes.

Strategic Plan, 2007-2009 开发国际编目条例仍是首要目标,设定了2008年成立工作组,创建的将是针对条例制订者的条例(而不是供直接使用的条例?)
1. Promote the development of an international cataloguing code for bibliographic description and access.
1.5 In 2008, begin the work of a Working Group on an International Cataloguing Code for description and access to create a code for rule-makers. Take into account subject cataloguing as relevant. Collaborate with the Bibliography Section, the Classification and Indexing Section, and other sections as appropriate. Include review of existing and recently updated codes.

Strategic Plan, 2009/2011 首要目标改成了《国际编目规则声明》的发展与维护,国际编目条例的必要性则充满了不定性(成立工作组也不提了,基本上可说是胎死腹中了?)
Promote the development and maintenance of the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles for bibliographic description and access
1.4.  Be prepared, if deemed necessary by the review carried out under 1.3, to form a working group, in collaboration with other relevant sections, to further look into the need of separating the specific cataloguing rules from the principles and explore the need to expand the statement further towards becoming an international cataloguing code.

探索FRBR概念模型统一文件:
  确认FRAD模型所致对FRBR模型的修改;

RDA定价公布

    RDA网络版预计2010年6月发布,在ALA仲冬会议期间,RDA在美国的订价如约公布:

第一个用户:$325
2-9个用户:加$55/人
10-19个用户:加$50/人
20个以上用户,加:$45/人

如一个机构有3个人要用,需付费:$435 ($325 + $55 x 2)
如一个机构有12个人要用,需付费:$875 ($325 + $50 x 11)

    与按年定价的OCLC的WebDewey(网络版DDC)及LC的Cataloger’s Desktop不同,RDA采用与LC的Classification Web(含LCC及LCSH)相同的一次性订价方式,相对而言便宜不少。[2010-2-14 update: NalsiRDA新闻两则 100214提示,公布新闻下的评论说此为年费!写此文前仔细比较过各处订价说明,没想到老美对价格信息的公布也能这样马虎……]

    不过,与印刷本AACR2最新版(2002 Revision, 2005 update)每册$80相比 ,价钱还是高的,况且印刷本还可以多人用一册,难怪会有机构担心用不起。[2010-2-14 update: 如为年费,则价格就更贵了;不过按RDA工具包网络研讨会观感,购买的是并发用户数而非实际使用者,即也多人用一个帐号]
    原以为一向热闹的RDA论坛今天会热议此事,不料今天一个更新都没有,真有点奇怪。

[update 2010-02-21: www.rdaonline.org最新发布的RDA Toolkit Pricing明确基价为年度许可费,一个并发用户、无限注册用户(Annual licensing fee for one user at a time, unlimited number of registered users: $325)]

Via RDA Toolkit pricing for U.S. announced
