RDA is based on two international conceptual models, FRBR and FRAD, developed by working groups of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). You have already had classes on FRBR and FRAD, so we will only provide a little more background.  Another IFLA activity from 2003-2008 resulted in the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (ICP). From the FRBR and FRAD models, RDA gets the entities, the identifying attributes for each entity, the relationships, and the user tasks. From ICP, RDA gets basic principles, such as the principle of representation and the principle of convenience of the user. International Cataloguing Principles It is important to note that, in the International Cataloguing Principles, the user comes first and should always be kept in mind when providing bibliographic descriptions and access points:  Convenience of the user  Representation  Common usage  Accuracy  Suffici...

For some months now, OCLC's WorldCat Quality Management Division has been planning and implementing a project to incorporate Resource Description and Access (RDA) practices, references, and examples into OCLC's Bibliographic Formats and Standards (BFAS)  http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en.html . We have thus far incorporated the changes to BFAS that were part of OCLC-MARC Update 2012 & 2013 (as documented in Technical Bulletin 261 & 262  http://oc.lc/zcWZjW ). We have now begun the larger job of reviewing BFAS in its entirety. Policies will be updated, links to Searching WorldCat Indexes  http://oc.lc/5SfZ7D  will be added, occasional references to RDA and the LC-PCC PSs will be incorporated, and some examples will be updated and others added to reflect RDA practices. This is a huge undertaking and will be happening gradually over time. Meanwhile, we have brought together on the OCLC About RDA page  http://www.oclc.org/rda/about.en.html links to L...

News from ALA Conference held in 2011 ALA Conference for  RDA  and  RDA toolkit . The U.S. RDA Test Committee met with vendors, testers, and the public, and summarized the results of the test and the reasoning behind their recent decision. The U.S. RDA Test Committee stated that the "rewrite" of  RDA  will actually be more of a rewording, intended to simplify and clarify some of the instructions. Cataloging practice will not be affected by the rewording. We also learned that the Library of Congress will begin partial  RDA Cataloging  in November. They will catalog across all subject areas and expect  RDA  records to represent about 5% of the library's cataloging output. The National Library of Medicine and the National Agricultural Library will not catalog in  RDA  until full implementation begins.
