This Task Group is for collaborative work to enable broader use of the Resource Description and Access (RDA), building on agreements made at a [WWW]meeting held at the British Library April 30/May 1, 2007. Participants in the meeting came from DCMI and other Semantic Web groups, and the RDA development effort. The Task Group is led by Diane Hillmann (then of Cornell University, now at Syracuse University) and Gordon Dunsire of Strathclyde University.
The Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC) is the new name of the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR. The JSC was responsible for maintaining the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, and is now working on a new code, “RDA: Resource Description and Access” scheduled to be released at the end of November 2009.
