RDA, the new rules cataloging
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the most widely used code catalog from 2009. Since 2004 working on a new rule to replace the second edition of the Rules of Anglo-American Cataloguing (AACR2), cataloging rules that are used in most libraries around the world. The RDA are based on models developed by the IFLA conceptualization to identify the relationship between a work and its author; specifically, follow the pattern of functional requirements for bibliographic records (FRBR) and the functional requirements for data authorities (Frade). These two models, which basa RDA, are based on the need for users to find, identify, select and obtain the resources that a library can provide. GDR gathers the information needed to describe an action, leaving behind the mere display of information, Obtet of cataloguing today. In October 2007 the main agencies bibliographic Australia, Canada, USA and UK decided to give its unconditional support for RDA and create a joint committee for its development and implementation. In the third quarter of 2009 GDR will be available and finally replaced the AACR2. Until then, remains open a period of sending feedback to improve the current version. All information on GDR is available at the website of the JSC, the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA. RDA allows interoperability between different models of metadata, as the committee has developed that has worked together with the community Dublin Core, the office of MARC21 standards of the Library of Congress, the group IFLA cataloging and industry editorial in relation to the rule ONIX. The information described with GDR will be easily integrated with catalogues of libraries, publishers, databases and bibliographic services. RDA is created thinking of digital information and work environments based on the website. GDR allow interfaces OPAC more consistent with the information needs and location of libraries as well as improved information sharing with users, which may include your notes in catalogues. GDR is compatible with AACR2 and its main novelty is that how many headlines change, following the provisions in the various functional requirements of IFLA. 2009 will be the year that cataloguing will be adapted to the new forms of access to information.
