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.
