Full Record Examples of RDA Cataloging
In order to facilitate RDA education and training, the RDA Steering Committee (RSC) issued the examples of RDA cataloging in 2016. The links below will download PDF files of RDA cataloging examples based on Original RDA. Each document is bookmarked to allow for easy navigation between examples. These examples show authority and bibliographic records in both an RDA element view and a MARC encoding view of the record:
- Examples of full RDA records (RSC) – authority records
- Examples of full RDA records (RSC) – bibliographic records
These examples show diagrams of specific RDA entities, elements, and relationships:
- Example of RDA primary relationships (RSC) – novel
- Example of RDA person relationship (RSC) – alternate identity
- Example of RDA work relationships (RSC) – adaptations
- Example of RDA work relationships (RSC) – whole-part
Also available are rball versions of some of the bibliographic examples. They are in RIMMF native RDA format and RDF linked data format. For more information on RIMMF-balls and how to use them, see http://rballs.info/about/rimmfballs.html.
