RDA strategy 3 targets: International communities Cultural heritage communities Linked data communities RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focussed linked data applications.

4. RDA Toolkit provides the user-focussed elements, guidelines, and instructions. RDA Registry provides the infrastructure for well-formed, linked, RDA data applications. RDA data Open Metadata Registry provides the linked data representation of RDA Reference.

16. 4-fold path The “4-fold path” supports RDA data in catalogue cards, flat file schema, RDBMS, and linked data Describing a related entity: Unstructured description Structured description Identifier URI General guidance and instructions: Simple Less duplication Easier to translate RDA database implementation

17. Local refinement of elements and values Some specific activities Translations Local policies and practices Multi-lingual RDA data

18. Translations Translations in RDA Registry: German French Spanish Chinese RDA Translations Policy In process (RDA Reference): Arabic Dutch Swedish Chinese In process (RDA Toolkit): Finnish Italian

25. Local vocabularies Vocabulary removed from “global” RDA becomes a “local” vocabulary

26. RDA Toolkit Impact of FRBR-Library Reference Model E.g. new entities, relationships Impact of more translations and policy statements Navigation, buttons, split screens Re-organization: next 2-3 years

27. Impact of international, cultural heritage, linked data communities e.g. Books of the Bible RDA Toolkit Design and function review is due “Book” design, hyperlinks, mouse-overs, pay-wall Re-organization: next 2-3 years
