Norway • Current situation • AACR2 used in translation • Translation includes national policies • No analysis of RDA undertaken • RDA • Norway contributed to constituency review of full draft • Translation into Norwegian is daunting • Collaboration with Sweden and Denmark desirable • Wait and see

  9. Portugal • Current situation • National rules need to be updated. • UNIMARC format • RDA • Group to be established to evaluate RDA during 2011 • Portuguese version or national application policies would be required. • UNIMARC mapping would be useful
