Rationale
This group is intended to provide a forum for Sinopia cataloging community that deal with non-Latin scripts. Current PCC practice for cataloging in multiscript environment is to use MARC 21’s “Model A” (inclusion of non-Latin script data and transliterated data in Latin script that parallels non-Latin script in bibliographic records). Linked data provides libraries with new opportunities for managing non-Latin script data, as well as present challenges. This affinity group is an effort to explore different models when dealing with vernacular scripts in Sinopia Editor and create a community of practice for cataloging non-Latin script materials in the linked data environment in general, Sinopia in specific.
