Abstract

This paper presents results of the examination of subject representation in the most recently created library metadata records. The bibliographic records were collected from the WorldCat global database. The records were created in 2020 according to the latest version of Resource Description and Access (RDA) and MARC 21Format for Bibliographic Data. A purposive sample of the records with the widest reach—as expressed in the highest number of holdings and the highest level of editing made by multiple institutions—was selected for in-depth content analysis. The level and patterns of application were analyzed for all subject representation data elements (record fields and subfields), specifically for those that were Linked-Data-enabling. The study examined the level and patterns of application of subject controlled vocabularies. Co-occurrences between various subject representation data elements and between subject controlled vocabularies within the records were explored.

新创建的图书馆元数据中主题表示和关联数据支持的探索:对保存最广泛的WorldCat书目记录的检查

本文介绍了最近创建的图书馆元数据记录中主题表示的检查结果。书目记录从WorldCat全球数据库中收集。这些记录是根据最新版本的RDA (Resource Description and Access)和MARC 21Format for Bibliographic Data于2020年创建的。有目的地选取影响最广的记录样本——即多个机构拥有最多的馆藏和最高水平的编辑——进行深入的内容分析。针对所有主题表示数据元素(记录字段和子字段)，特别是那些支持关联数据的元素，分析了应用程序的级别和模式。该研究考察了主题控制词汇的使用水平和模式。探讨了记录中不同主题表示数据元素之间和主题控制词汇之间的共现现象。
