Title: Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA
Description: RDA is built on the foundations established by the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR). It will provide a comprehensive set of guidelines and instructions on resource description and access covering all types of content and media. The new standard is being developed for use primarily in libraries, but consultations are being undertaken with other communities (archives, museums, publishers, educators, book dealers, ILS vendors, etc.) in an effort to attain effective levels of alignment between RDA and the metadata standards used in those communities.
