Beyond Zebra: Taking RDA

beyond MARC

ALA Annual Conference

June 25, 2011

Overview

1. MARC moment

2. Bibliographic universe world of information

output

– Visual aids

3. DRYAD a case study

– Introduce Dryad

– Why not MARC

– RDA potential

4. Concluding remarks

Questions…and the Dryad repository

Graph images are nice, but how to we get there?

Where does RDA fit in?

Consequences?

ALA Annual Conference 2011

Enter Dryad…

- What is Dryad?

- Why not MARC?

10

Data underlying peer-reviewed articles in the

basic and applied biosciences

As of Jun 25, 2011, Dryad contains 769 data packages and

1856 data files, associated with articles in 81 journals

ALA Annual Conference 2011

Why not MARC?

- automatic propagation of metadata

- author generated metadata (low burden)

- handshaking/linking and sharing metadata

- promoting data-reuse, and tracking it

Concluding remarks

Alignment of research and

implementation goals (more

immediate needs may not be

the most interesting,

vice/versa)

– Priorities, language barriers,

large team

Infrastructure not “fully”

there; planning for the

future

Synergy between implementation and research (a live lab)

Preparing for new potential

Seeing some benefits…

Intellectually exciting

Challenges

Pros, Benefits
