Gary Berg-Cross, Raphael Ritz,
Co-Chairs DFT IG
A
PID record
that points to a
metadata
record
and to
instantiations
of identical
bit-
streams
that may store additional
attributes
Goal: Describe a basic, abstract (but clear) data
organization model that systemizes the already large
body of definition work on
data management terms
,
especially as involved in RDA’s efforts.

Example of Work on 10 categories of Terms
Digital Object (aka Digital Entity)
A
digital object
is composed of structured sequence of bits/bytes. As an object it is named. This bit sequence can be
identified & accessed by a unique and persistent identifier or by use of referencing attributes describing its
properties.
Note
Digital Entity
definition from X.1255 ITU standard “machine-independent data structure consisting of one or
more elements in digital form that can be parsed by different information systems; the structure helps to enable
interoperability among diverse information systems in the Internet.”
More Terms and Initial definitions are in TeD-T
•
It has, of course, been difficult to get consensus on the scope a common
vocabulary with detailed definitions.
•
The work has been more of model and vocabulary identification than
integrated definition
•
We are and were in frequent discussions with communities about our
results and will intensify this interaction
.
•
Based on this experience, a broader plan for long-term maintenance will
be submitted to the TAB and Council as part of the IG.
•
As needed in consultation with these & other appropriate RDA
entities, some update to term definitions the can be
anticipated as part of maintenance.
•
The term tool (TED-T): a plan for its maintenance and use for DFT terms
and perhaps other WGs must be provided.
•
A special task force may be empowered to do this and other maintenance activities in
line with guidance from RDA governance organizations.
•
Based on interest a DFT IG was formed to continue efforts
Lessons Learned and Follow Up
Coordinated with several other RDA Groups
•
Considerable discussion of vocabularies has been part
of RDA group activities at Plenaries and as part of
ongoing RDA group discussion.
•
Cross-group coordinated with several RDA WGs, as
shown in the Data Fabric Figure on data concepts and
relations.
•
This coordination task needs to be ongoing.
•
Potentially all groups could be engaged in this IG
and we with them
•
Much more work and discussion would be useful such
as with the PP WG and its terminology that was only
briefly sketched out without full definitions.
•
PP along with MIG has expressed an interest in more
formalized definitions that can be processed by
computer and the Ted-T tool may be capable of doing
this or at least demonstrating its feasibility.
Objectives for P5
1.
Start IG discussion and leverage existing work and approach but improve
both
1.
We are expecting considerable discussion of new requirements coming out of groups
nearing completion, but also support as part of adoption.
2.
We can also leverage the experience of other IGs as to success factors
2.
Focus on facilitating community discussion on core concepts
1.
Based on feedback, some curated revisions on definitions and extension of the
current synthesis model can be expected to finalize and stabilize the effort for
subsequent use.
3.
Facilitate definition development
1.
Potential adopters will be encouraged at P5 to provide feedback on additional use
case scenarios to illustrate what areas of work they plan on using the models and
vocabulary for.
2.
This will serve to plan work and virtual meetings between P5 and P6.
This content discusses the development of a data organization model for efficient data management terms, with a focus on RDA's efforts. It covers topics such as PID records, metadata, identical bit-streams, and key agenda items from DFT.IG sessions. The overview of DFT WG activities, term development, and example work on digital entities are also highlighted.
