RDA: Resource Description and Access
Why a new standard? Opportunity to simplify our rules Encourage use as a content standard for metadata schema Encourage international applicability Need for more consistency and less redundancy, for easier use and interpretation Chance to modernize We've moved from card catalogue to online environment but we still have card-based terminology and rules in our cataloguing code.
Resource Description and Access “RDA”: New Code for Cataloging
The Serials Librarian, 2011
El-Sherbini led a preconference session providing details about Resource Description and Access (RDA), the long-awaited successor to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2) cataloging standard. As RDA is primarily based on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model, El-Sherbini provided an in-depth background in FRBR's philosophical constructs and how they apply to RDA. She also illuminated a number of the biggest changes that catalogers will face when describing items using the RDA standard, most notably the elimination of abbreviations, and the identification of relationships between manifestations of works. El-Sherbini also described the RDA testing process and timeline for the major national libraries. RDA was officially released June 23, 2010.
Revista Română de Biblioteconomie și Știința Informării = Romanian Journal of Library and Information Science, 2020
This paper takes a look at the evolution of the cataloging rules, and aims at highlighting what is preserved and what is changed in the way progress was made. It points out the need of innovative rules and features for the bibliographic description and access, so that they agree with the requirements of the new information resources, the new library user profile and information needs. Bibliographic control is also considered and more so, the characteristics of library science education are looked at, particularly in the manner they come to an agreement with the new RDA rules, or change of vision.
RDA and the Reference Librarian: What to Expect from the New Cataloging Standard
The Reference Librarian, 2012
Reference librarians' work will be affected by the upcoming change in cataloging standards from the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules to the Resource Description and Access (RDA). Reference librarians were asked to give their perceptions about RDA records. They found that RDA records were comparable in terms of quality and quantity of information. However, terms used in new fields that provide format information lacked clarity. RDA records live compatibly with their Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules counterparts but do have distinctive differences. This study sheds light on what internal users of the catalog will find familiar in the new type of records and what will require a learning curve.
RDA (Resource Description and Access): Revolution in Resource Cataloguing
Highlights the historical perspectives of cataloguing starting from AACR1, causes of transition from AACR2 to RDA, factors for adopting the new standard, Joint Steering Committee for RDA specified objectives for the design of RDA, foundation of RDA, criticism of AACR2, changes from AACR2 to RDA, structure of RDA, comparison between AACR2 and RDA, RDA rules and data recording in eight bibliographical elements and other non-core elements and a sample cataloguing has shown to indicate the difference in cataloguing application of AACR2 and RDA and concludes that though there are some difficulties in initial level but it is very much useful for linked data and there is a freedom to use any rule as and when required if there is no such restriction. It is based on FRBR (Functional Requirement for Bibliographic Records) and available all characteristics of MARC21 so there is a creditable progress towards replacement of MARC21.
RDA implementation and application: British Library
O Bib Das Offene Bibliotheksjournal Herausgegeben Vom Vdb, 2014
The British Library implemented the new international cataloguing standard RDA in April 2013. The paper describes the reasons for the change, the project organization, the necessary adaptations to the systems and the training programs. Altogether, 227 staff were trained. Productivity levels by now are comparable with the levels for AACR2. However, there was a tendency to spend too much time on authority control. Zusammenfassung: Die British Library hat den neuen internationalen Katalogisierungsstandard RDA im April 2013 eingeführt. Der Beitrag beschreibt die Gründe für den Umstieg, die Projektorganisation, die notwendigen Anpassungen bei den Systemen und die Schulungsmaßnahmen. Insgesamt 227 Mitarbeiter/innen wurden geschult. Mittlerweile wird eine vergleichbare Produktivität erreicht wie unter AACR2. Jedoch bestand eine Tendenz, zu viel Aufwand in die Normdatenarbeit zu stecken.

Il cambiamento proposto da RDA (Resource Description and Access) si preannuncia epocale: queste linee guida, infatti, sono rivolte a chiunque voglia descrivere e rendere accessibile le collezioni di patrimonio culturale, dai bibliotecari agli archivisti ai professionisti di ogni aspetto della conoscenza. Il lavoro qui presentato è diviso in due parti: la prima descrive i fondamenti teorici della catalogazione (FRBR, ICP, web semantico e linked data); la seconda invece offre una ricognizione critica di RDA. Lo scopo di RDA è la creazione di metadati strutturati per qualunque tipo di risorsa, da riusare in qualunque contesto e ambiente tecnologico. RDA propone un insieme di linee guida e istruzioni per creare dati da usare nella scoperta delle risorse. Le linee guida si concentrano su quattro aspetti principali - identificare (le entità dei gruppi 1 e 2 di FRBR (Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item, Person, Family, Corporate Body), mettere in relazione (le entità dei gruppi 1 e 2 di FRBR), rappresentare e scoprire, e una parola: risorsa. RDA facilita la scoperta della conoscenza "registrata", che corrisponde a ogni risorsa che trasmette informazione, ogni risorsa che descrive un contenuto intellettuale o artistico con ogni supporto e mezzo a disposizione. RDA è uno standard per i contenuti, non uno standard per la visualizzazione o per la codifica: fornisce istruzioni per identificare i dati a prescindere dalle modalità con cui questi sono visualizzati o codificati. RDA richiede un approccio originale, un cambiamento radicale nel modo in cui il catalogo è concepito. Le innovazioni sono molteplici: dalla promozione dell'interoperabilità tra cataloghi e altri strumenti di ricerca, all'adozione di terminologie e concetti del web semantico, al fatto di essere uno standard globale che può essere applicato da diverse agenzie nella produzione di dati. Con RDA la tradizione del catalogo fa un passo avanti per entrare a pieno titolo nell'era digitale.
The international diffusion of RDA: a wide overview on the new guidelines
This issue of JLIS.it is focused on RDA, Resource Description and Access. In light of increasing international acceptance of this new cataloging content standard, the editors of the journal wish to capture the background of how RDA came to be and the implications of its implementation at this time. This special issue offers a wide overview on the new guidelines from their making to their spreading around the world. Two authors devoted to the reconstruction of the events and factors involved in the change and innovation are written by two among the most important witnesses: Barbara B. Tillett and Tom Delsey.
