RDA and CJK Materials Training Workshop – Introduction and Overview
Join us for the RDA and CJK Materials Training Workshop held on March 13, 2012, at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. This workshop, featuring expert trainers from Columbia University, Brigham Young University, the University of Chicago, and the University of California, San Diego, will cover essential concepts of Resource Description and Access (RDA), including RDA structure, core elements, and its application to CJK materials. Participants will gain insights into copy cataloging, new developments in RDA, and access training resources to stay up-to-date.

FRBR/FRAD and RDA RDA training starts with FRBR/FRAD • RDA is an application of the FRBR and FRAD conceptual models • RDA support FRBR/FRAD user tasks • RDA vocabulary, concepts, and categories come from FRBR and FRAD • RDA structure is organized based on FRBR and FRAD entities, attributes, and relationships • RDA relationships overview http://www.rdatoolkit.org/backgroundfiles/RelationshipsOverview_10_9_09.pdf
FRBR/FRAD • User tasks • FRBR: Find, Identify, Select, Obtain • FRAD: Find, Identify, Contextualize, Justify • Entity-Relationship models • FRBR Entities: • Group 1: Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item • Group 2: Persons, Families, Corporate bodies • Group 3: Concepts, Objects, Events, Places • FRAD Entities: FRBR entities, Name, Identifier, Controlled access point, Rules, Agency • Entities, Attributes, Relationships
RDA Structure (1) 1) RDA is divided into 10 sections Elements corresponding to the entity attributes Elements corresponding to the relationships 13
RDA Structure (2) 2) In each section: • The initial chapter • sets out the functional objectives and principles underlying the guidelines and instructions in that section, and • specifies core elements to support those functional objectives. • Subsequent chapters within each section • cover attributes or relationships that support a specific user task
RDA Structure (3) 3) Supplementary guidelines and instructions are provided in appendices 16
RDA Core Elements • Element: A word, character, or group of words and/or characters representing a distinct unit of bibliographic information • Core elements are identified and selected to support FRBR/FRAD user tasks • RDA set of core elements defines a base level, a level below which would jeopardize the user’s ability to fulfill any tasks
RDA Core Elements • RDA Core Elements are identified and selected based on those attributes and relationships designed in FRBR/FRAD as supporting the following user tasks: • identify and select a manifestation • identify works and expressions embodied in a manifestation • identify the creator or creators of a work. • find a person, family, or corporate body associated with a resource • identify a person, family, or corporate body FRBR FRAD
RDA Toolkithttp://www.rdatoolkit.org/ • Integrated browser-based online product • Allow users to interact with a collection of cataloging related documents and resources including RDA. • Searchable and browseable • Three sections: RDA, Tools, Resources • Two views of RDA content—table of contents and RDA element set • User-created workflows, maps, and other tools • Full text of AACR2 with links to RDA • Library of Congress Policy Statements
