+ | ====== Intro ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **What does it mean? | ||
+ | **RIMMF stands for "RDA in Many Metadata Formats" | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **What is it? | ||
+ | **RIMMF is: | ||
+ | * a visualization tool for catalogers, to help them to get used to thinking of RDA, instead of thinking AACR/ | ||
+ | * a cataloging training tool, to help educators teach RDA thinking (which is an implementation of FRBR thinking) | ||
+ | * a prototype (and a sandbox) for what a cataloging interface might look like in a system designed purely for RDA | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | RIMMF is not a cataloging tool, because you cannot (yet) export records that can be used in a contemporary ILS. But it does let you apply RDA thinking to resources, and practice making, cloning, importing, and copying WEMI and other RDA entity records, so that you can get a solid idea of how much the RDA way of thinking will change the way we do cataloging, hopefully for the better. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Why use RIMMF? | ||
+ | **Because just reading about RDA is not inspiring; seeing a bit of RDA in action is what will turn the tide in its favor. We have a long way to go before we can replace MARC in our complicated cataloging infrastructure, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Who made RIMMF?** | ||
