cataloging, FRBR, RDA, cataloging standards, linked data, cloud computingAbstract
An in-depth study presenting the new cataloging code, RDA (Resource Description and Access) and its relationship to technology. Its origin, what it represents and its implications for cataloging are analyzed. The state of bibliographic control and the foundations of the new cataloging code are reviewed. Details are presented concerning its structure, changes and advantages of being based on the FRBR model. Reference is also made to RDA’s adoption by the international community. Finally, the article sets forth the changes and doubts that RDA prompts. The exhaustive bibliographic review permits the identification of the most significant changes as well as the pros and cons. Likewise, a detailed study of the Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) enables a better understanding of the new code’s instructions, connections and relationships to them.
