RDA keeps on trucking

The Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA posted a set of working documents on Monday: “Please note that these documents are being made available as a means of providing outreach to both library and non-library resource description communities and assisting the Joint Steering Committee in its work.” I take this to be a response to the WoGroFuBiCo recommendation that all work on RDA be suspended immediately: the Joint Steering Committee posted its revised strategic plan (41 KB PDF), which outlines exactly how it plans to keep on working.

A dozen documents are posted, but of particular interest here are the RDA to FRAD mapping (43 KB PDF) and the RDA to FRBR mapping (53 KB PDF). The latter “shows how each RDA element relates to the attributes and relationships defined in FRBR.

(Thanks for Catalogablog for the pointer.)
