Information and documentation -- Bibliographic data element directory -- Part 5: Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata

Information et documentation -- Répertoire des éléments de données bibliographiques -- Partie 5: Éléments de données pour l'échange de catalogues et de métadonnées

L'ISO 8459-5:2002 prescrit et décrit les éléments de données nécessaires à l'échange de données entre systèmes de catalogage (c'est-à-dire de terminal à ordinateur ou d'ordinateur à ordinateur). Elle identifie également les messages et leurs éléments de données utilisés dans les systèmes de catalogage.
Elle s'applique aussi bien aux transactions de catalogage en ligne qu'à celles en différé.
La structuration des éléments de données en messages dépasse le domaine d'application de l'ISO 8459-5:2002.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 8459 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 8459-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 4, Computer applications in information and documentation.
ISO 8459 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information and documentation — Bibliographic
data element directory:
 Part 1: Interloan applications
 Part 2: Acquisitions applications
 Part 3: Information retrieval applications
 Part 4: Circulation applications
 Part 5: Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata
Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 8459. Annexes B and C are for information only.

ISO 8459-5:2002(E)
Introduction
Data are interchanged for the purpose of starting or supporting a process. In order to transmit information required
to support a process, the various elements of data in the interchanged messages must be fully understandable for
the processes concerned. This part of ISO 8459 describes, in the form of a directory, data elements used to
support cataloguing.
The data elements that may occur in a cataloguing transaction are presented in four ways:
a) a data element directory (see clause 4), and code values and description for messages (see A.2) and
date/time qualifier (see A.3);
b) an index (see clause 5) consisting of names, keywords and synonyms for data elements, and data element
values, including names assigned to messages (see annex A);
c) a structured order of data elements (see clause 6) which relates similar data elements in a hierarchical
fashion;
d) a matrix (see clause 7) showing the data elements pertaining to specific cataloguing messages.
This part of ISO 8459 is the fifth part of a series which comprises a comprehensive data element directory for
bibliographic use. This part of ISO 8459 is primarily intended for new cataloguing systems, for the exchange of
cataloguing messages between different systems and for the exchange of data between client and server in the
client/server model.

Part 5:
Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8459 specifies and describes data elements required in the interchange of data between
cataloguing systems (i.e. terminal to computer or computer to computer). It also identifies messages and their data
elements which are used in cataloguing systems.
It is intended to support both batch and interactive cataloguing transactions.
Annex B provides examples of how this part of ISO 8459 may be used.
The structuring of the data elements into messages falls outside the scope of this part of ISO 8459.

ISO 8459-5:2002(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 8459 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 8459-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 4, Computer applications in information and documentation.
ISO 8459 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information and documentation — Bibliographic
data element directory:
 Part 1: Interloan applications
 Part 2: Acquisitions applications
 Part 3: Information retrieval applications
 Part 4: Circulation applications
 Part 5: Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata
Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 8459. Annexes B and C are for information only.

ISO 8459-5:2002(E)
Introduction
Data are interchanged for the purpose of starting or supporting a process. In order to transmit information required
to support a process, the various elements of data in the interchanged messages must be fully understandable for
the processes concerned. This part of ISO 8459 describes, in the form of a directory, data elements used to
support cataloguing.
The data elements that may occur in a cataloguing transaction are presented in four ways:
a) a data element directory (see clause 4), and code values and description for messages (see A.2) and
date/time qualifier (see A.3);
b) an index (see clause 5) consisting of names, keywords and synonyms for data elements, and data element
values, including names assigned to messages (see annex A);
c) a structured order of data elements (see clause 6) which relates similar data elements in a hierarchical
fashion;
d) a matrix (see clause 7) showing the data elements pertaining to specific cataloguing messages.
This part of ISO 8459 is the fifth part of a series which comprises a comprehensive data element directory for
bibliographic use. This part of ISO 8459 is primarily intended for new cataloguing systems, for the exchange of
cataloguing messages between different systems and for the exchange of data between client and server in the
client/server model.

Part 5:
Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8459 specifies and describes data elements required in the interchange of data between
cataloguing systems (i.e. terminal to computer or computer to computer). It also identifies messages and their data
elements which are used in cataloguing systems.
It is intended to support both batch and interactive cataloguing transactions.
Annex B provides examples of how this part of ISO 8459 may be used.
The structuring of the data elements into messages falls outside the scope of this part of ISO 8459.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 8459 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 8459-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 4, Computer applications in information and documentation.
ISO 8459 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information and documentation — Bibliographic
data element directory:
 Part 1: Interloan applications
 Part 2: Acquisitions applications
 Part 3: Information retrieval applications
 Part 4: Circulation applications
 Part 5: Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata

Introduction
Data are interchanged for the purpose of starting or supporting a process. In order to transmit information required
to support a process, the various elements of data in the interchanged messages must be fully understandable for
the processes concerned. This part of ISO 8459 describes, in the form of a directory, data elements used to
support cataloguing.
The data elements that may occur in a cataloguing transaction are presented in four ways:
a) a data element directory (see clause 4), and code values and description for messages (see A.2) and
date/time qualifier (see A.3);
b) an index (see clause 5) consisting of names, keywords and synonyms for data elements, and data element
values, including names assigned to messages (see annex A);
c) a structured order of data elements (see clause 6) which relates similar data elements in a hierarchical
fashion;
d) a matrix (see clause 7) showing the data elements pertaining to specific cataloguing messages.
This part of ISO 8459 is the fifth part of a series which comprises a comprehensive data element directory for
bibliographic use. This part of ISO 8459 is primarily intended for new cataloguing systems, for the exchange of
cataloguing messages between different systems and for the exchange of data between client and server in the
client/server model.

Part 5:
Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8459 specifies and describes data elements required in the interchange of data between
cataloguing systems (i.e. terminal to computer or computer to computer). It also identifies messages and their data
elements which are used in cataloguing systems.
It is intended to support both batch and interactive cataloguing transactions.
Annex B provides examples of how this part of ISO 8459 may be used.
The structuring of the data elements into messages falls outside the scope of this part of ISO 8459.
2 Normative references

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.

Introduction
Les échanges de données servent à initialiser ou à poursuivre une procédure. La transmission des données
nécessaires au déroulement d’une procédure exige que les différents éléments de données des messages
échangés soient parfaitement compréhensibles dans les procédures engagées. La présente partie de
l’ISO 8459 décrit, sous forme de répertoire, les éléments de données utilisés dans les procédures de
catalogage.
Les éléments de données que peut comporter une transaction de catalogage sont présentés de quatre
façons:
a) un répertoire des éléments de données (voir Article 4) avec des valeurs de codes et la description des
messages (voir A.2) et des qualificatifs date/heure (voir A.3);
b) un index (voir Article 5) englobant les noms, les mots-clés et les synonymes des éléments de données et
des valeurs des éléments de données, y compris les noms attribués aux messages (voir Annexe A);
c) une présentation structurée des éléments de données (voir Article 6) qui regroupe les éléments de
données semblables de façon hiérarchique;
d) un tableau (voir Article 7) montrant les éléments de données qui se rattachent à des messages
spécifiques de catalogage.
La présente partie de l’ISO 8459 est le cinquième maillon d’une série qui constitue le répertoire complet des
éléments de données destinés à un usage bibliographique. La présente partie de l’ISO 8459 concerne
principalement les nouveaux systèmes de catalogage pour l’échange des messages de catalogage entre
différents systèmes et pour l’échange de données entre client et serveur dans l’architecture client/serveur.

Partie 5:
Éléments de données pour l'échange de catalogues et de
métadonnées
1 Domaine d'application
La présente partie de l’ISO 8459 prescrit et décrit les éléments de données nécessaires à l’échange de
données entre systèmes de catalogage (c’est-à-dire de terminal à ordinateur ou d’ordinateur à ordinateur).
Elle identifie également les messages et leurs éléments de données utilisés dans les systèmes de catalogage.
Elle s’applique aussi bien aux transactions de catalogage en ligne qu’à celles en différé.
L’Annexe B donne des exemples d’utilisation de la présente partie de l’ISO 8459.
La structuration des éléments de données en messages dépasse le domaine d’application de la présente
partie de l’ISO 8459.

Le répertoire indique le nom et la définition des éléments de données et des groupes d’éléments de données
utilisés dans les transactions de catalogage. Les données relatives à chaque élément de données ou groupe
d’éléments de données sont présentées en quatre colonnes distinctes avec les intitulés des étiquettes, nom,
description et représentation. Une «étiquette» est utilisée pour identifier un élément de données aussi bien
qu’un groupe. «Nom» veut dire «nom d’un élément de données» ou «nom d’un groupe d’éléments de
données». Le nom d’un groupe d’éléments de données est imprimé en caractères gras pour le distinguer des
noms d’éléments de données. La «description» comprend une définition pour chaque groupe ou élément de
données, suivie, le cas échéant, d’une liste d’étiquettes correspondantes qui composent le groupe. La
colonne «représentation et remarques» comprend des textes explicatifs sur les conventions et/ou normes
utilisées pour décrire les valeurs applicables aux éléments ou aux groupes d’éléments de données, ainsi que
des échantillons de valeurs, le cas échéant.
