* Revised RDA scope document
For information, the RDA Scope and structure document has been
revised and now has two accompanying documents, an RDA element
analysis and an RDA to FRBR mapping.

The JSC is committed to ensuring that the metadata produced using RDA
will be well-formed, i.e., instructions are provided on how to record
the values of elements, controlled vocabularies are used where
appropriate, and the overall structure is governed by a formal model.
These documents have been issued for the JSC and Editor to refer to,
in the process of developing RDA, to ensure this aim is met. In
addition, we hope that these documents will be useful to the metadata
and semantic web communities and in our ongoing discussions with
these communities.
