Attribute Set
for
Searching Music Materials
(Z39.50)
First Draft
as of 27 November 2000
The Music Materials Attribute Set identifies the set of attributes for use in searching databases that describe music materials. This set is a superset of the Bib-2 Attribute Set, using the complete set of attributes within that set, in addition to new attributes that are specific to the Music Materials Attribute Set.
The following table lists the access point attributes that are defined as part of the Attribute Set for Searching Music Materials. with an indication (X) whether any additional attributes (either Content Authorities (CA), Functional Qualifiers (FQ), or Semantic Qualifiers (SQ)) are defined for use as qualifiers for each of the music access point attributes types.

The First Draft of the Music Attribute Set was created, November 2000, by extracting the music access point attributes from the Bib-2 Attribute Set, during the preparation of the 4th Draft of that set.
TC46 SC4 WG4 sponsored the activity to develop the Attribute Set for Searching Music Materials. Barbara Shuh, National Library of Canada is the primary editor, with contributions from Matthew Dovey, Oxford University and advise from Lennie Stovel, RLG, primary editor of the Bib-2 Attribute Set.

DATE/(SQ) Date of composition: How does
“Date of composition” differ from the Cross Domain Creation Date?

[b2]
MUSICAL KEY: Is there a need for
Semantic qualifiers for MUSICAL KEY?
The table could indicate the circle of keys (major and minor)…Don’t
think that this is a MARC tag, so I’m not familiar with how the information is
recorded.

[b3] MUSIC NUMBER/(SQ) Number of Distinct
Instruments: I’m uneasy about this
interpretation of Number of Distinct Instruments in MUSIC NUMBERS. Is this how the Music Online Catalogue Clump
is doing it? Tag 048 of MARC21 provides for the recording of the number of
parts for each instrument specified - but there is no way to total up the
number.
