It would appear that there is not going to be a statement directly from the JSC regarding its members' reactions to the Data Model Meeting. I therefore address some questions, which might have been answered in such a statement, to RDA-L.
At the moment, the RDA is in draft form and has been subjected to much criticism. According to the RDA Prospectus, the 'underlying framework' for RDA is to be provided by FRBR and FRAD, both of which are still in a state of development. Funding will be sought for the provision of an RDA Element Vocabulary, an RDA/DC Application Profile based on FRBR and FRAD and RDA Value Vocabularies. How will the present unfinished state of RDA, FRBR and FRAD affect the proposed developments? What changes will be sought to these standards in order to maximize the quality of the vocabularies and application profile? How will the schedule leading to the publication of RDA be affected by the new initiatives? Philip Davis Redditch England [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- The all-new Yahoo!
