To: From: Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA Deirdre Kiorgaard, Chair, JSC 5JSC/Chair/14 1 Subject: Using RDA with bibliographic and authority records Using RDA with bibliographic and authority records Data created using RDA can be used in a variety of database structures. In the documents RDA Database Implementation Scenarios (5JSC/Editor/2) and RDA, FRBR/FRAD, and Implementation Scenarios (5JSC/Editor/4) three different implementation scenarios are described. One of these scenarios involves linked bibliographic and authority records. This document is provided to assist with the transition to RDA for cataloguers working with linked bibliographic and authority records. The mapping below does not mandate an order of procedure, but provides some guidance on how RDA may be used in an existing library application.
