RDA Design Objectives

• Consistent, flexible, and extensible framework for the description of all types of resources and all types of content

• Compatible with internationally established principles, models, and standards

• Adaptable to the needs of a wide range of resource description communities

• Organizational structure of RDA• RDA element set• Categorization of resources• Implementation scenarios

Aligning RDA with FRBR and FRAD

RDA Structure

FRBR/FRAD Attributes FRBR/FRAD Relationships

1. Attributes of Manifestation and Item2. Attributes of Work and Expression3. Attributes of Person, Family, and Corporate Body4. Attributes of Concept*, Object*, Event*, and Place

5. Primary Relationships6. Relationships to Persons, Families, and Corporate Bodies Associated with a Resource7. Subject Relationships*8. Relationships between Works, Expressions, Manifestations, and Items9. Relationships between Persons, Families, and Corporate Bodies10. Relationships between Concepts*, Objects*, Events*, and Places*

Alignment with FRBR/FRAD User Tasks

Attributes of Manifestation and Item2. Identifying Manifestations and Items = FIND / IDENTIFY3. Describing Carriers = SELECT4. Providing Acquisition and Access Information = OBTAIN

Attributes of Work and Expression6. Identifying Works and Expressions = FIND / IDENTIFY7. Describing Content = SELECT

RDA Element Set

• Alignment of RDA elements with FRBR/FRAD attributes and relationships

• RDA element sub-types and sub-elements• RDA extensions to FRBR/FRAD

RDA Extensions to FRBR

Additional elements• Production method• Layout• Form of notation

Extended scope of elements• Generation – microform, projected media + audio, digital• Scale – cartographic content + still image, three-

dimensional formAdditional element sub-types

• Video characteristics – + broadcast standard• Digital file characteristics – + regional encoding,

transmission speed

Categorization of resources

Media type (audio, computer, microform, video, etc.)

• FRBR categories: sound recording, electronic resource, microform, video projection, etc.

Carrier type (audio disc, audio reel, audio tape, etc.)

• FRBR attribute: form of carrier

Content type (notated music, text, spoken word, still image, etc.)

• FRBR attribute: form of expression

Mode of issuance (multipart monograph, serial, integrating resource)

• FRBR attributes: intended termination / extensibility / revisability

RDA Implementation Scenarios

• Designed to be compatible with MARC 21

– Assumption: most libraries creating RDA data are currently using an ILS that imports/exports data in MARC 21

• Aligned with FRBR and FRAD models

– Assumption: libraries will begin migrating to a new generation of systems using database structures reflecting entity-relationship models
