ABOUT THE WEBINAR

During a meeting at the British Library in May 2007 between the Joint
Steering Committee for the Development of RDA and DCMI, important
recommendations were forged for the development of an element vocabulary,
application profile, and value vocabularies [1], based on the Resource
Description and Access (RDA) standard, then in final draft. A DCMI/RDA Task
Group [2] has completed much of the work, and described their process and
decisions in a recent issue of D-Lib Magazine [3]. A final, pre-publication
technical review of this work is underway, prior to adoption by early
implementers.

This webinar will provide an up-to-the-minute update on the review process,
as well as progress on the RDA-based application profiles. The webinar will
discuss practical implementation issues raised by early implementers and
summarize issues surfaced in virtual and face-to-face venues where the
vocabularies and application profiles have been discussed.
