About this Site and How to Use It:
This is a cooperative site originally created by James Weinheimer as an alternative to accepting RDA. The basic idea is to have a site where the current rules can continue to be updated. There are also the related Google Groups site, and the Blog. For more information, see the Official Announcement

Nice presentation on RDA from  Rick J. Block, Head, Special Collections Metadata and Cataloging, Columbia University

Discusses relationships in RDA and how FRBR-ization is less than a complete view of what FRBR could do for metadata

"In a series of webcasts, Dr. Barbara Tillett, Chief, Policy and Standards Division of the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate, presents information about Resource Description and Access (RDA), the next generation cataloging code. Presentations currently available include one providing background and an overview of RDA, and one on the cataloging principles of RDA. Future presentations will focus on Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements of Authority Data (FRAD), and the content and structure of RDA. "

As a result of a meeting at the British Library on April 30 and May 1, it has been announced that RDA and
Dublin Core communities will work together in the following ways:

* develop a formal RDA Element vocabulary (probably following the DC Abstract Model)
* develop an application profile of RDA for Dublin Core using FRBR and FRAD
* use RDF and SKOS to disclose RDA vocabularies
