About RDA
RDA: Resource Description and Access was developed by the RDA Steering Committee (formerly the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA) as part of its strategic plan to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition Revised, which were first published in 1978.
RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focussed linked data applications.
Submitting Proposals to Revise RDA
The RSC drafted two Operations documents in mid-2019 to describe the process for proposing changes to RDA content in the beta Toolkit.
- RSC/Operations/4 -- Policies and Procedures for Updating RDA Content
- RSC/Operations/5 -- Guidelines for Discussion Papers, Proposals, and Responses to Them
These documents will continue to be updated as the RSC and RSC communities gain experience with this process.
