  34. RDA to Save the Day? CALL/ACBD 2008

  35. RDA intends to be a new standard for description and access designed for use in the 'digital world' RDA and the 'Digital World' CALL/ACBD 2008

  36. The guidelines and instructions will describe all types of resources, including analog, digital and online RDA Describes the 'Digital World' CALL/ACBD 2008

  37. Emphasis on content means the guidelines can be easily used or extended to cover the description of new emerging resources RDA is a Content Standard CALL/ACBD 2008

  38. The descriptions will be used in the digital environment enabling use in a variety of resource discovery services including web-based catalogues RDA in the Digital World CALL/ACBD 2008

  39. The standard itself will be a web-based tool RDA in the Digital World CALL/ACBD 2008

  40. The aim is to present a structured sequence that will help lead the cataloguer through a logical decision process RDA Provides Logical Guidelines CALL/ACBD 2008

  41. Any special instructions for specific types of resources will be minimized and will appear as part of the general instructions as necessary (e.g. law, music, etc.) RDA Simplifies the Process CALL/ACBD 2008

  42. With a clear conceptual framework based on FRBR and FRAD the cataloguer will be equipped to make better and more consistent decisions based on shared principles RDA Based on Shared Principles CALL/ACBD 2008

  43. Simpler instructions with clear and concise language will make the rules both easier to learn and to apply RDA Simplifies the Process CALL/ACBD 2008

  44. This should help reduce the cost of creating resource descriptions while enabling more descriptions to be created RDA Reduces Costs CALL/ACBD 2008

  45. Relationships between information resources will be identified and clarified allowing for easier selection of relevant materials RDA Identifies Relationships CALL/ACBD 2008

  46. Consultations with other communities (e.g. archives, museums, publishers, educators, book dealers, ILS vendors, etc.) will align the efforts of RDA and the metadata standards used in those communities RDA Reaches Out to Others CALL/ACBD 2008

  47. With a focus on content rather than display the possibility for RDA to be used outside the library community in a broader range of metadata communities is more likely e.g. MARC, Dublin Core, ONIX, IEEE-LOM RDA Reaches Out to Others CALL/ACBD 2008

  48. Sharing metadata (tables of contents, reviews, classification, etc.) between communities can enhance the metadata provided to the information users RDA Incorporates Existing Metadata CALL/ACBD 2008

  49. If metadata communities shared the same content standard, this could potentially improve search results across different information repositories and databases RDA Improves Access CALL/ACBD 2008

  50. Digital World Designed for Use in the Digital World Aims to Describe Both Analogue & Digital Is a Content Standard not a Display Standard RDA Summary (1)‏ CALL/ACBD 2008
