All,
Here is a draft short description of the RDA session to go in the DC2007
programme - please comment etc. I will send it to Singapore at
close-of-play UK time tomorrow (Friday).
*****************
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the content standard for
resource description being developed on the foundations of library
cataloguing practice established in the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules
(AACR). Dublin Core members have provided input to the RDA development
process from a non-traditional metadata perspective and this culminated
in a meeting between several metadata communities at the British Library
earlier this year. [1] The participants identified key strands of work
that would be useful to take forward collaboratively: the declaration of
an RDA element set, declaration of RDA controlled vocabularies, and
development of an RDA DC Application Profile.
This RDA Special Session is intended for those who are interested in the
background to these developments and the current position in relation to
the proposed work items. There will also be an opportunity for
discussion.

I will also edit the draft agenda (below) and submit that at the same
time.
Best,
Robina

Subject: Agenda for DC2007 - was update
Gordon, All,
Thanks for your response - I think your suggestion is a bit different
from what I had envisaged. I had started writing this before yours
arrived and focuses more on the joint aspects of the work - let me know
if it suits what you had in mind. We have 90 minutes and this adds up
to 85:
1) Welcome and Introduction - Robina? 5 mins
2) Background to RDA and DC development. (Separate presentations from
Gordon and Diane) 15 mins each
3) Current RDA/DC work plan (Diane and/or Gordon) 20 mins altogether
4) Future developments (Diane and/or Gordon) 15 mins altogether
5) Discussion - Robina to moderate? 15 mins
Item 2 can clearly have two separately focussed strands from the
different perspectives. Item 3 starts with the London meeting and
brings the story up to date describing the joint work proposed and where
it is now. Item 4 could again have separate strands - Gordon doing a
more practical strand looking at what it will mean on the ground for
AACR library cataloguers and Diane could do something more futuristic. ?
There is a deadline of 24th June to send the conference organisers a
short description of the session (purpose and intended audience), the
agenda (bullets) with list of presentations, special technical
requirements. I am just composing a paragraph for the short description
and will circulate shortly for comment.
Best,
Robina
