The following are examples of cataloging records created in RDF, using Martha Yee's Cataloging Rules, which are available at:

http://myee.bol.ucla.edu/

I have created these records in order to help me understand FRBR, particularly as it applies to serials, and RDF. I am by no means an expert in either one, so if you have comments or criticisms, please send them to rd13 at uchicago.edu.

These records supplement the work, expression, title-manifestation, and manifestation records for Example 6, Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, which Martha Yee has on her website at:

http://myee.bol.ucla.edu/ycrexamples.html

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology is a serial work which so far has 4 title-manifestations:

Journal of documentary reproduction
American documentation
Journal of the American Society for Information Science
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology

The records I have done are:

Title-manifestation record for American documentation

Manifestation records for print, electronic, and microfilm versions of the title-manifestation American documentation
