Colleagues

Seen the advert for the CatSIG seminar? Still confused about RDA? This has just been announced:

There has been a major agreement that the RDA and Dublin Core communities will work together in the following ways:

· develop a formal RDA Element vocabulary (probably following the DC

Abstract Model)

· develop an application profile of RDA for Dublin Core using FRBR

and FRAD

· use RDF Resource Description Framework) and SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organisation System) to disclose RDA vocabularies

To quote Karen Coyle “This is truly an amazing development, and I think it begins a new phase in our profession.”
