Proposal for MARC note #211
Conversation
|
In light of recent changes @gautierchomel @madeleinerothberg should we adjust this aside note? At te very least I think we need to change the name of the column which is changing from "MARC21" to "“MARC Fields” Thoughts? |
|
I think we should say MARC21. |
|
We may need other text edits as well since we are enhancing the Information and Resources sections but streamlining the crosswalk column for MARC21. |
crosswalk/index.html
Outdated

| <aside class="note"> | ||
| <p>Best practices and procedures for recording accessibility metadata in MARC21 using the Schema.org Accessibility Properties for Discoverability Vocabulary (sapdv) and ONIX are still under development. Please be aware that future work may result in changes to the crosswalk, though it is expected such changes will be minimal and backwards compatible.</p> | ||
| <p>The MARC21 columns provide recommendations for recording accessibility metadata for digital publications in MARC21. These recommendations can be used by cataloguing agencies who acquire accessibility metadata directly from an ePUB, through ONIX, or who will catalogue manually, using the sapdv vocabulary and free text notes. Crosswalks can be made from the EPUB and ONIX columns to the MARC21 column where equivalents are available. This document will be updated to reflect any future changes to the MARC21 341 - Accessibility Content and 532 - Accessibility Note fields.</p> |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This paragraph has to be updated to reflect that MARC 21 mapping gives information about the field to use, not the vocabulary to use in those fields.
|
The first paragraph seems fine to me and the third paragraph could be removed ("Onix under development"). Currently the second paragraph reads: Suggested replacement paragraph but please review and suggest improvements: |
|
Cataloguing agencies can determine the correct syntax for expressing the metadata in that field. |
Thank you -- that's helpful. |
MARC 21 not presented everywhere with a space.
