Karen Coyle Keynote - R&D: Can Resource Description become Rigorous Data?
This document summarizes Karen Coyle's presentation on Resource Description and Access (RDA), the new cataloging standard intended to replace AACR2. It discusses the goals of RDA, including using FRBR as a framework, simplifying rules, accommodating non-library communities, and being machine-processable. However, it notes that early drafts of RDA are very lengthy and still result in text strings rather than machine-actionable data. It highlights work being done to formally declare RDA's vocabularies in RDF to address this issue and help integrate library data into the semantic web.
