AcquisitionSource and AcquisitionTerms - discrepancy in example usage

[frosterus]

In the AcquisitionSource example here https://id.loc.gov/ontologies/bibframe.html#c_AcquisitionSource there seems to be some strangeness.

<bf:Instance rdf:about="http://id.loc.gov/resources/instances/10002730" >
  <bf:acquisitionSource >
    <bf:AcquisitionSource >
      <bf:acquisitionTerms >Romanized</bf:acquisitionTerms>
    </bf:AcquisitionSource>
  </bf:acquisitionSource>
</bf:Instance>

Original data: https://id.loc.gov/tools/bibframe/compare-id/full-ttl?find=10002730

First of all, the example seems to contain a mistake in that the 350 subfield a should contain price information but here it reads 'Romanized'. But aside from that, the converter places bf:acquisitionTerms inside bf:AcquisitionSource. In the bf:acquisitionTerms the suggested usage is with Work or Instance and the example there seems to conform to this: https://id.loc.gov/ontologies/bibframe.html#p_acquisitionTerms

Here is an example where the price information is in 020 field and seems correct:

<bf:Instance rdf:about="http://id.loc.gov/resources/instances/1000000" >
<xml:comment >properties truncated from original</xml:comment>
<bf:acquisitionTerms >0.35rub</bf:acquisitionTerms>
</bf:Instance>

Original data: https://id.loc.gov/tools/bibframe/compare-id/full-ttl?find=1000000

In summary: the first example seems to be wrong and there seems to be a discrepancy in the Suggested Use values.

Thanks for finding this. We will update the example to use the second one. 350 is obsolete since 1993, so the transform should probably be skipping it.

And 037 - Source of Acquisition.

e.g. https://id.loc.gov/resources/instances/20343878.html

    <bf:acquisitionSource>
      <bf:AcquisitionSource>
        <bf:acquisitionTerms>90.00 EGP</bf:acquisitionTerms>
      </bf:AcquisitionSource>
    </bf:acquisitionSource>

It seems like the whole concept is obsolete? In BFAS it says "Generally do not enter terms of availability." https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/020.html#subfieldc

The one exception is Scores: e.g. https://id.loc.gov/resources/instances/19816893 Note: I couldn't find a single 020$cRental Material with a LCCN in Worldcat, this is from a 037.

<bf:Instance rdf:about="http://id.loc.gov/resources/instances/19816893">
    <bf:acquisitionSource>
      <bf:AcquisitionSource>
	<bf:source>
	  <bf:Source>
	    <rdfs:label>G. Schirmer Rental Library</rdfs:label>
	  </bf:Source>
	</bf:source>
	<bf:acquisitionTerms>Rental material</bf:acquisitionTerms>
      </bf:AcquisitionSource>
    </bf:acquisitionSource>

Thanks for the feedback. The question about the examples led to a review of the marc2bibframe conversion, and a future update will include these changes: 1 - field 350 will not be converted 2 - acquisitions information in 020 $c and 024 $c will be converted as part of the bf:identifiedBy block. Sample:

<bf:identifiedBy>
 <bf:Isbn>
  <rdf:value>0939416492</rdf:value>
  <bf:qualifier>pbk</bf:qualifier>
  <bf:acquisitionTerms>$10.95</bf:acquisitionTerms>
 </bf:Isbn>
</bf:identifiedBy>
