RDA, the web tool content: the RDA instructions and content tools: functionality to improve cataloguing work
Looking ahead to training
RDA, the standard
new standard designed for use in digital environment
replaces AACR2removal of Anglo-American bias
not just for libraries
focus on organizing information for the benefit of the user
RDA replaces AACR2
RDA builds on the strengths of AACR2
AACR2 is used around the world
translated into 24 languages
constantly evolving
FRBR and FRAD conceptual foundation
FRBR
Focus on the user (end-user not cataloguer)

0. General Objectives
There are several objectives that direct the construction of cataloguing codes. The highest is theconvenience of the user.
0.1. Convenience of the user of the catalogue.
Decisions taken in the making of descriptions and controlled forms of names for access
should be made with the user in mind.
RDA Structure
General Introduction
Elements

Chapter 2: Identifying manifestations and items
FRBR task = Identify
Chapter 3: Describing carriers
FRBR task = Select

“Designed for the digital world”
work with existing catalogues and database structures
take advantage of newly emerging database structures
re-use of metadata
describe and give access to all types of resources, analog, digital, etc.
RDA vs AACR2
RDA: “to take advantage of the digital environment” stop fussing about abbreviations more “take as is” – principle of representation transcribe inaccuracies; add note if necessary enable re-use of metadata
AACR2: rules from the card catalogue era when to abbreviate, when not to abbreviate – concern with
space on card “transcription” but also required to omit and sometimes to
supply data use of [sic] or correction of inaccuracies
RDA vs AACR2RDA: content standard not a display standard use with many encoding schema data elements use by non-library metadata communities
AACR2: content and display many display conventions already ignored “areas” with string of data tied together: not friendly for use
in a web environment the library’s standard
RDA vs AACR2
RDA: “to describe all types of resources” three separate elements to record:
Content typeMedia typeCarrier type
AACR2: problems with new types of resources limitations of rule 0.24 rules organized according to “class of material” limited list of GMDs
RDA vs AACR2RDA: more information for users no more restrictions such as “rule of three” make the relationships between entities clear to the
user:
appendices I, J and K = lists of relationship designators
no more Latin abbreviations
AACR2: limitations of the 3 x 5 card limits for description & access when multiple authors more focus on single record, less on relationships “et al.”, “S.l.”, “s.n.”
Statement of responsibility: more than three persons, bodies, etc. (AACR2 1.1F5, RDA 2.4.1.5)
