RIMMF4

RIMMF4 (R4) is an attempt to model changes to RDA introduced by the LRM and 3R project.

Work on R4 began in 2017/2018 and is ongoing.

The objectives/status of RIMMF4 are:

replace the homegrown text output used by previous RIMMFs with an RDF serialization [complete]
replace customized element tables with direct downloads from RDA Registry [complete]
support new concepts: recording methods, polyhierarchical subproperties, nomens, machine-readable SES [in progress]
demonstrate data provenance using RDA itself [work started]

RIMMF4 does not at present have any awareness of MARC.
For MARC-to-RDA and RDA-to-MARC conversion RIMMF3 may be useful ¹⁾.

Availability

Current release: 191216

A beta version of R4 can be downloaded from this link:

R4 runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

The installation documentation for RIMMF3 can be used for R4–substitute 'RIMMF4' for 'RIMMF3' where applicable and ignore the download links²⁾.

R4 can be installed without harming existing RIMMF installations and data on the same computer.

¹⁾ the element sets used by RIMMF3 are based on RDA Registry version 2.7.3, published in Oct. 2017
