Creating Record Attributes from RDA Fields

[Jennifer Weston]

Cataloging Working Group would like to investigate ways to create new record attributes using rda fields (example: the 347 field does not currently have an rda definition which could be used for MP3 Audiobooks with item_form=i AND 347$b=MP3)

This will require continued CWG discussion from bug #1835736
From Elaine's wording - This may be a good place to begin a CWG discussion on how to integrate the MARC fields designed for RDA and that drill down specifically and granularly in an items attributes that might be important to user discovery -- anything from fields that define format to those that provide contributor characteristics.

This bug is very similar to or a duplicate of LP# 1125621 which goes back to 2013 but nothing has been done on it in over a year.

I think this should be marked a duplicate of 1125621 and discussion carried over to it. Is there a reason not to?

[Elaine Hardy (ehardy)]

I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't.
