1.1. Discuss the Resource Description Access (RDA)concept and list the
frameworks used in its development.
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a set of cataloging rules and guidelines
for describing and accessing library resources. It was developed to replace the
Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2) and is designed to support
the needs of libraries in the digital age. RDA focuses on providing a flexible
framework for describing a wide range of resources, including traditional print
materials, electronic resources, and digital objects.
The development of RDA was guided by several key frameworks, including:
1. Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR): FRBR is a conceptual
model that seeks to clearly define the relationships between bibliographic entities,
such as works, expressions, manifestations, and items. RDA incorporates the
principles of FRBR to help catalogers create more useful and user-friendly
bibliographic records.
2. Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD): FRAD is a framework that
provides guidelines for creating authority data, which is used to control authorized
forms of headings and ensure consistency in cataloging. RDA incorporates the
principles of FRAD to ensure that authority records are consistent and useful for
library users.
3. Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD): FRSAD is a
conceptual model that provides guidelines for creating subject authority data, which
is used to classify and describe the content of library resources. RDA incorporates
the principles of FRSAD to ensure that subject access points are accurate and
consistent.
4. International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD): ISBD provides guidelines
for creating bibliographic descriptions of resources in a standardized format. RDA
aligns with the principles of ISBD to ensure that bibliographic descriptions are clear
and consistent.
Overall, RDA is designed to provide a comprehensive and flexible framework for
describing and accessing library resources, incorporating the principles of various
key frameworks to ensure that cataloging practices are consistent and user-friendly.
