Add Controlled Vocabulary for Rare Materials Cataloging (RBMS) to QA #490

Description

@gracianipicardo

The PCC Standing Committee on Standards has requested the PCC MAP working group to add this vocabulary to the PCC Sinopia templates.

This scheme is developed and maintained by the Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (ACRL/ALA). These thesauri provide standardized vocabulary for retrieving special collections materials by form, genre, or by various physical characteristics that are typically of interest to researchers and special collections librarians, and for relating materials to individuals or corporate bodies.

NOTE: This vocabulary was recently migrated to id.loc.gov. Because this is a new data source for the vocabulary, this request supersedes issue #228.

Please perform each task listed below. (Email sf433 @ cornell dot edu with questions):

Next steps:

Once the above actions have taken place, a link to a YAML file will be shared with the requestor via a comment in the issue in order to complete Accuracy Test, https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/wiki/Writing-Tests-for-an-Authority#accuracy-test. Edit directly the YAML file in Github, save. Create a Pull Request to be reviewed. Be sure to including a meaningful commit message (e.g. adding accuracy tests for Authority X).

Context on Accuracy Tests: In order to make sure the QA search behavior (recall and relevancy) are meeting expectations, QA uses YAML to define test parameters. These parameters include the ability to declare for a particular text string searched, the results should include a particular resource (identified by a URI) and what is the maximum position in the results the resource should be found.)
