Please note that these documents are being made available as a means of providing outreach to both library and non-library resource description communities and assisting the Joint Steering Committee in its work. Under no circumstances should the documents be copied or re-transmitted without prior consultation with the Chair of the Joint Steering Committee. Drafts and proposals are not an official part of RDA until they have received final approval from JSC and have been formally published.
Introduction
This site contains working documents used by the JSC and constituencies in the preparation of RDA from 2005 onwards. JSC documents of an administrative or restricted nature are not included. When documents are regularly revised, only the latest version is made available. See also the Explanation of JSC document numbering.
Translations of RDA Supporting Documentation
JSC encourages the translation of RDA Supporting Documentation by national bibliographic agencies or other interested parties. RDA Supporting Documentation refers to documents produced by JSC to support the development and implementation of RDA. Examples of RDA Supporting Documentation include: 5JSC/Sec/6 [Deferred issues]; 5JSC/Sec/6 [AACR2 Changes]; 5JSC/RDA/Element Analysis.
JSC requests that interested parties notify the JSC Secretary before starting work. The secretary maintains a record of work in progress to avoid duplication of effort and to encourage collaboration between different national communities. On completion, translations should be sent to the JSC Secretary so that they can be posted on the JSC Website.
Translations of RDA Supporting Documentation are not formally evaluated by JSC. The latest English language version of the text should be regarded as authoritative.

Explanation of JSC document numbering:
Base JSC document numbers consist of 3 parts:
[Sequence designation] / [Originator of proposal or Descriptive Title] / [Proposal number or designation]
For example:
- 5JSC/LC/7 (The 7th proposal from LC in the 5JSC sequence. The 5JSC numbering sequence will be used until the publication of RDA.)
- 5JSC/Annual report/2005 (2005 annual report)
If there are responses or follow-ups, the number is extended:
[Sequence designation] / [Originator of proposal or Descriptive Title] / [Proposal number or designation] / [Designation of response/follow-up/revision] / [Number of response/follow-up/revision - if required]
For example:
- 5JSC/ACOC/1/CILIP response (CILIP response to the first proposal from ACOC in the 5JSC sequence)
- 5JSC/RDA/Part I/Chair follow-up/6 (6th Chair follow-up to the draft of RDA part I)
- 5JSC/LC/1/Rev/ALA response (ALA response to the revised version of LC/1)
The collection of the original proposal and all responses and follow-ups is known as the document series.
