The British Library Application Profile for Sound
[Archival Sound Recordings 2 Project]
Title: The British Library Application Profile for Sound [Archival Sound Recordings 2 project]
Creator: Chris Clark, based on BLAP v 1.01 by Robina Clayphan
Contributors: Antony Gordon, Corine Deliot, Michelangelo Staffolani

Description: This document lists all the elements and element refinements (terms) that can be used when creating metadata according to the BL
Application Profile for Sound [Archival Sound Recordings 2 project]. Recorded sounds typically comprise performances of works with no
components (a recorded song), works with components (a play in several acts and scenes) or the components in isolation (excerpts from
works). The cardinality of certain structural terms in this profile is therefore conditional. The proposed use for this application profile is to enable
standardised conversions of legacy catalogue data and the creation of new metadata corresponding to sound recordings selected for inclusion
in the Archival Sound Recordings 2 Project. This profile is based on BLAPSoundv1.3 used for the Archival Sound Recordings 1 project.
Document Control
BLAPSoundASR2-v0-1 2008-09-16. First draft based on editing BLAPSoundv1.3 used for the Archival Sound Recordings Project 1
and the incorporation of dc:contributor refinements.
BLAPSoundASR2-v0-2 2008-09-17. Feedback from Antony Gordon. Addition of definitions for conductor, editor, photographer and
producer. Corrections of typographical errors.
BLAPSoundASR2-v0-3 2008-09-18. Feedback from Chris Clark. Modification of 'Description'
BLAPSoundASR2-v0-4 2008-09-18. Feedback from Michelangelo
BLAPSoundASR2-v0-5 2008-09-19. Changes agreed by Chris and Michelangelo
Structure of this Document.
The terms in this application profile are described using the attributes defined in the Guidelines for Dublin Core Application Profiles produced by
the CEN MMI-DC Working Group. The home page of this workshop and the guidelines can be found at: http://www.cenorm.be/sh/mmi-dc

Label Title

Source Definition A name given to a resource
BLAP-S Definition The title of the work or work component
Source Comments Typically, a Title will be a name by which the source is formally known.
BLAPSoundASR2 If no title is available construct one that is derived from the resource or supply [no title]. Follow normal
Comments cataloguing practice for recording title in other languages using the 'Alternative' refinement. Where data are
derived from the Sound Archive catalogue, this will equate to one of the following title fields in the following
hierarchical order: Work title (1), Item title (2), Collection title (3), Product title (4), Original species (5)
Broadcast title (6), Short title (7), Published series (8), Unpublished series (9).

Defined By http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/
Source Definition An entity responsible for making contributions to the content of the resource.
BLAP-S Definition Any name (appropriately qualifed by a role and/or function) associated with the recorded work.
Source Comments Examples of a Contributor include a person, an organisation, or a service. Typically, the name of a
Contributor should be used to indicate the entity.
BLAPSoundASR2 Always substitute dc:contributor with a valid refinement term. Formulate name headings in accordance with
Comments AACR2 rules. In cases where the name of a musical instrument is known but the performer is not, enter the
name of the instrument. Where data are derived from the Sound Archive catalogue, this will equate to
Composer and/or Performer and/or Recordist and/or Interviewer and/or Interviewee and/or Species and/or
Environment and/or Mechanism.

Source Comments Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name and/or geographic coordinates), temporal
period (a period label, date, or date range) or jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity).
Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus
of Geographic Names [TGN]) and that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used in
preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges.
BLAPSoundASR2 Use this term for geographic coverage. Spatial location (a place name and/or geographic coordinates).

a value from a controlled vocabulary.
BLAPSoundASR2 Typically the name of an occasion at which the recording was made. Where data are derived from the

the status of these and other rights with respect to the resource.
