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.

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:

• 5JSC/Policy/3 [Glossary principles]

• 5JSC/ACOC/1 [URLs]
• 5JSC/ACOC/2 [Maori & Pacific Island initial articles]
• 5JSC/ACOC rep/1 [Levels]
• 5JSC/ACOC rep/2 [Additions based on MARC 21 elements]

• 5JSC/RDA/Objectives and Principles
• 5JSC/RDA/Prospectus
• 5JSC/RDA/Scope
• 5JSC/RDA/Element analysis
• 5JSC/RDA/RDA to FRBR mapping
