This week, I found the Chinese version of RDA registry was finally updated.
I spent half a year for the translation (of about 18000 entries) from December 2023 to June 2024. It was uploaded in July 2024.
Then, I spent two months to translate the updated English version.
Because of some problems concerning the the format of the character set and the communication with the ALA part, the uploading of the Chinese updates had not been successful until last month.
Now, we can see all the new entries.
I am glad to have a complete set of ex-libris designed by Ying HAN, a painter in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. He had been giving me customized ex-libris for every Chinese lunar new year in the past twelve years.
The updated Chinese version of the IFLA LRM (Library Reference Model) was published at the IFLA repository: https://repository.ifla.org/handle/20.500.14598/42.2
As the consolidation of FRBR, FRAD and FRSAD, separate conceptual models respectively for bibliographic records, authority data and subject authority data, the IFLA LRM was published in August 2017, and the corresponding Chinese version was published in May 2020.
Later, the updated version, as amended and corrected through December 2021 by the Bibliographic Conceptual Models Review Group, was issued in July 2024.
Last year, Pat Riva remind me to do the updating of the document. When doing the updating, I also found some typos, mistakes and typesetting problems. So I spent a month to revise the document.
I am glad to see that it was finally published. I am also glad to see that my name appears in the document as a member of the FRBR Review Group.
