[KATALIST] MARC21 és a központozási jelek avagy a HUNMARC reneszánsza

2019. Okt. 21., H, 09:30:36 CEST

Kedves Katalistesek,

új szelek fújnak központozás ügyben: a központozási jelek nem részei az
adattartalomnak, ezért használatuk nem indokolt, félrevezető. Ez az "új"
felismerés. Elkezdődött a folyamat a központozási jelek kivezetésére.
Figyelmükbe ajánlom az alábbi levelezést.

Üdvözlettel:

*Subject:* [BIBFRAME] New policy regarding limited use of ISBD punctuation
in bibliographic records

Hi everyone,

In April, Xiaoli Li sent out an email outlining a phased approach for
implementing the policy regarding limited use of punctuation in PCC
bibliographic records (see below).

While the work for preparing for the implementation of Phase 2 is still
ongoing, the PCC Policy Committee (PoCo) has completed its review of the
pros and cons of omitting final punctuation in access point fields. Given
that final punctuation is not part of authorized access points in authority
records, PoCo has decided that omission of final punctuation in authorized
access points in bibliographic records should be allowed as well. It was
also decided that it would be better to implement this change along with
Phase 2 to avoid the need for both participants and tool developers to deal
with this matter twice.

*Beginning January 2, 2020*, PCC libraries will have *three* *options*
regarding the use of punctuation when newly authenticating bibliographic
records:

*a.      *Fully punctuate any field when descriptive cataloging form is
recorded as "ISBD punctuation included" (leader/18=i)

*b.      *Omit final punctuation when descriptive cataloging form is
recorded as “ISBD punctuation included” (Leader/18=i)

*c.       *Omit final punctuation and punctuation between subfields* when
descriptive cataloging form is recorded as "ISBD punctuation omitted"
(Leader/18=c)

*** Exception: For MARC fields in ranges 1xx, 240, 6xx, 7xx, and 8xx,
only punctuation
that *separates* access points from relationship designators can be
omitted. The punctuation *within* access points should not be omitted.

Special note: when updating an existing PCC record, catalogers should
follow the punctuation pattern *already established* in that record.

*Options b or c *are optional, not mandatory. However, I would like to
reiterate the benefits of implementing options b or c: creating records
with limited punctuation is expected to save time for catalogers, simplify
training of new catalogers, make it easier to map data to and from other
formats, and allow for an easier transition to linked data or vice versa
(e.g., mapping BIBFRAME to MARC).

The draft version of these guidelines (that may be subject to change) are
now available on the PCC website:
http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/PCC-Guidelines-Minimally-Punctuated-MARC-Data-draft.docx.
The final version will be posted on December 15, 2019, in preparation for
the implementation date of January 2, 2020.

In the next few months, we will:

1.      Post guidelines and training materials and specifications for
automatically removing or adding punctuation as they become available;

2.      Request that LC Network Development and MARC Standards Office and
bibliographic utilities revise MARC 21 documentation to include examples
with limited punctuation;

3.      Work with bibliographic utilities and other interested parties to
develop tools to automate the process of removal or reinsertion of
punctuation. (OCLC macros for adding or deleting punctuation in Connexion
will be ready before January 2, 2020.);

4.      Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore
functionality to index and display records with limited punctuation as
defined by the PCC;

5.      Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore
functionality to allow their users to easily add or remove punctuation as
needed.

As stated above, this policy intends to cover the use of punctuation
when *newly
authenticating* bibliographic records. It may be extended in the future to
facilitate the work of catalogers or batch processes dealing with legacy
PCC records.

Please let me know if you have any questions (bax at princeton.edu).

Sincerely,

Jennifer Baxmeyer

Chair, PCC Policy Committee

in bibliographic records

PCC colleagues,

Last December, I announced the new policy regarding limited use of ISBD
punctuation in bibliographic records. Since then, we have been working on
the implementation plan. The complexity of implementing all three options
outlined in that email (dated 12/12/2018 and included below) at the same
time presents more challenges than we anticipated. In addition, there are
issues pertinent to access point fields that require more discussion. We
believe we should move forward but need to do so in a way that is
manageable and will allow us to achieve some consistency. After considering
all the possibilities, we have revised the policy which to address
punctuation in descriptive fields only. The revised policy will be
implemented in phases:

*Phase 1**:* Beginning April 8, 2019, PCC libraries will have two options
regarding inclusion of terminal periods when newly authenticating
bibliographic records:

a. Continue current practice (fully punctuated); code Leader/18=i

b. Omit terminal period in any descriptive field*; code Leader/18=i

*Exception: terminal periods integral to the data (e.g., recorded as part
of abbreviations, initials, etc.) should not be omitted.

Special Note: when updating an existing PCC record, catalogers should
follow the punctuation pattern already established in that record.

The guidelines for Phase 1 and a spreadsheet containing all MARC fields
that are affected by the new policy are attached to this email. Both
documents have also been posted on the PCC website:

   - Guidelines:
   http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/guidelines-terminal-periods.pdf

   -  Spreadsheet:
   http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/final_punctuation_all_MARC_field.xlsx

 *Phase 2**:* [Implementation date to be determined.] PCC libraries may
begin to omit ISBD punctuation between subfields and terminal period of any
descriptive field as long as Leader/18 is coded as “c”.

The implementation date for Phase 2 will depend on the following:

a. Completion of style guidelines containing instructions and examples

b. Completion of specifications for and availability of tools for
automatically removing or adding punctuation (e.g., macros for OCLC
Connexion Client, etc.)

Following these two phases, the Policy Committee will review the pros and
cons of omitting final punctuation in access point fields.

The work on the limited use of the ISBD punctuation in PCC records began in
March 2011. It took many groups’ work to get us to where we are now. I want
to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to anyone who
has helped to make this happen.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

*Subject:* [PCCLIST] New policy regarding limited use of ISBD punctuation
in bibliographic records

PCC colleagues,

At its recent meeting
<https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/PoCo-2018/PoCo-Agenda-2018.pdf>, the
PCC Policy Committee reaffirmed its decision to allow bibliographic records
with limited ISBD punctuation to be treated as full-level PCC copy. This
decision comes after reviewing feedback from test participants who
evaluated three test sets of records provided by Library of Congress, the
National Library of Medicine, and OCLC. For more information about the
test, please read the message below or click here
<http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/test-records-punctuation.html>.

Beginning in spring 2019, PCC libraries will have three options to handle
ISBD punctuation when authenticating new records:

   1. Continue current practice
   2. Omit terminal period in any field*; code Leader/18 (Descriptive
   cataloging form) “i”
   3. Omit ISBD punctuation between subfields of descriptive fields and
   omit terminal period in any field*; code Leader/18 (Descriptive cataloging
   form) “c”

* Exception: Terminal periods integral to the data (e.g., recorded as part
of abbreviations, initials, etc.) should not be omitted.

Options 2 and 3 are optional, not mandatory. However, creating records with
limited punctuation is expected to save time for catalogers, simplify
training of new catalogers, make it easier to map data to and from other
formats, and allow for an easier transition to linked data or vice versa
(e.g., mapping BIBFRAME to MARC).

To facilitate the implementation, PCC will:

   1. Develop and maintain style guidelines for records with limited
   punctuation;
   2. Provide adequate training resources for catalogers and revise PCC
   documentation to update policies and include examples with limited
   punctuation;
   3. Request that LC Network Development and MARC Standards Office and
   bibliographic utilities revise MARC 21 documentation to include examples
   with limited punctuation;
   4. Work with bibliographic utilities and other interested parties to
   develop tools and specifications to automate the process of removal or
   reinsertion of punctuation;
   5. Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore
   functionality to index and display records with limited punctuation as
   defined by the PCC;
   6. Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore
   functionality to allow their users to easily add or remove punctuation as
   needed.

The Policy Committee is in the process of developing a detailed
implementation plan which will include the aforementioned style guidelines.
I will share more information with you as it becomes available. In the
meantime, if you have questions, suggestions, or comments, please feel free
to contact me.

Sincerely,

Xiaoli Li

*Subject:* [PCCLIST] Testing use of limited ISBD punctuation in
bibliographic records

Hi all,

Last spring it was announced that the PCC was moving forward to implement
the recommendations of the PCC ISBD and MARC Task Group (Revised Final
Report 2016 <https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/isbdmarc2016.pdf>). The
timeline called for a period of testing and outreach, but there were some
delays in getting that started. Now we are ready!

Please see the attached announcement for details. The announcement is also
available on the PCC website
<http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/test-records-punctuation.html>.

I would like to emphasize that the purpose of this test is to gather
feedback about how bibliographic records with limited ISBD punctuation
function in library systems and other applications, and to enable the PCC
to make decisions about the feasibility of a policy change. This
announcement will be shared widely so that libraries, vendors, and others
who make use of MARC data are aware of the test.

The test will run through July 1, 2018. The announcement includes links to
a website with sets of test records and to a survey for providing feedback.
