Subject: Re: [BIBFRAME] supplied information, in transcribed elements
In July, I posted to the present list to ask if there were any plans to
introduce a mechanism in BIBFRAME that would allow us to specify
whether the data in a given element is recorded or transcribed. While
the ensuing discussion was quite interesting, we never received a
response from anyone directly involved in BIBFRAME development.
May I ask the same question again, with the hopes that someone involved
with BIBFRAME may assert whether or not such a feature would be within
the scope of BIBFRAME development?
Thanks,
Francis

Alan,
Thanks. Then we'd need a use case for distinguishing between recorded
and transcribed, or between recorded and supplied, which we do not
separately code today. The only "coded" source is "supplied." I suspect
that in many current catalog records it is not possible to know if
certain elements are recorded or are transcribed, right? It seems to be
an assumption made based on the nature of the data element (e.g.
publisher).
I'd suggest that transliteration be noted similar to language, using a
code on the element. It would be ideal to know WHICH transliteration
was used, but I don't think our data can supply that.

Karen,
Information in the resource may be recorded without being transcribed,
for example date of publication (2.8.6.3), copyright date, extent.
There are at least three categories:
transcribed
recorded
supplied
some information may also be transliterated, so that may be a fourth
category.

Francis, et al,
I've been wondering if we shouldn't reverse the markup, and indicate
which elements are precisely transcribed. In effect, everything else is
supplied.

RDA 2.2.4, Other Sources of Information, notes:
When instructions specify transcription, indicate that the information
is supplied from a source outside the resource itself:
1. <!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->By means of a note (see 2.20)
2. <!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->Or by some other means (e.g.,
through coding or the use of square brackets).
If encoding RDA in MARC, square brackets appear to be the only option
for “some other means.” In the development of BIBFRAME, are there
plans to enable an encoding to indicate that information has been
supplied?
MODS has already developed this attribute. See, for example, the
titleInfo element, for which the “supplied” attribute is defined as
follows:
Definition
An indication that the title information did not come from the resource
itself.
Application
This attribute is used as supplied="yes" when the title information has
been supplied from an external source, not from the resource.
MODS also defines the “supplied” attribute for originInfo/place,
originInfo/publisher, originInfo/edition, and
physicalDescription/extent.
Something equivalent in BIBFRAME might be useful for encoding any RDA
transcribed element (as listed in RDA 2.2.4).
