  3. key objects of interest work expression manifestation item person family concept corporate body object event place

  4. work core elements find manifestation Work manifested Preferred title for the work Creator Subject Title proper Manifestation identifier

  5. expression core elements find identify work manifestation Preferred title for the work Creator Subject Title proper Manifestation identifier Statement of responsibility … Designation of edition Numbering of serials Place of publication Publisher’s name Date of publication Title proper of series/subseries Numbering within series/subseries Carrier type Extent Identifier for the work Form of work Date of work Place of origin … Other distinguishing characteristic … Medium of performance Numeric designation … Key Signatory to a treaty, etc. Identifier for the expression Content type Language of expression Date of expression Other distinguishing characteristic … Scale of cartographic content

  6. enhanced description • Base elements derived from AACR2 and MARC 21 • Additional descriptive elements • Content type, Media type, Carrier type • Resolution, Regional encoding, Transmission speed • Specific identification of “buried” elements • Nature of the content, Coverage of the content, Accessibility content

  12. summing up • RDA as a metadata standard • Comprehensive element set • Flexible and extensible framework • Well-formed metadata • Exploiting the potential • User-focussed implementation • Migration to newer database management systems • Enhancements to applications software
