Re: [RDA-L] Announcement of RDA publication date
Folks: The vocabulary portions of RDA are essentially complete and available at: http://metadataregistry.org/rdabrowse.htm. Updates to the vocabularies from the last JSC meeting in March have been integrated, and although we expect to see some minor editorial tweaks prior to the formal publication of the guidance text, what you see there is, we believe, ready for use and experimentation by those whose interest in RDA is in data rather than instruction. In addition, we are putting the finishing touches on an article about the process of building the RDF vocabularies which will appear in the January issue of DLib Magazine, due to be issued on January 15, when many of us will be in Boston for ALA Midwinter. In the meantime, we encourage those who want to work with the vocabularies to feel free to contact us with questions or issues, either via email or the Registry feedback tab.

While we regret this delay in release of RDA, the transition from publication of AACR2 as a printed manual to release of RDA as a web based toolkit is a complex process with many interdependencies. The updated text of RDA incorporates recommendations from constituencies and other stakeholders approved at the JSC meeting earlier this year. The revised text has been successfully loaded into the RDA database. The product is currently undergoing thorough quality review and testing in preparation for release. We recognize that customers and prospective users of RDA need reliable and timely information for planning and budgeting. We are confident that this revised deadline is a realistic target for publication of RDA. Pricing and purchasing information will be introduced at the time of the ALA Midwinter Meeting, 15-18 January 2010.

Hi Diane, Is there a mechanism for typo correction? I was just casually looking through the list and found RDA Form of Musical Notation Tomic sol-fa 'Tomic' should read 'Tonic' Best wishes, Antony -- Antony Gordon Senior cataloguer/System administrator British Library Sound Archive 96 Euston Road London NW1 2DB United Kingdom t: +44 20 7412 7412 f: +44 20 7412 7441 e: antony.gor...@bl.uk On 4/12/09 14:14, Diane I.

Re: [RDA-L] Announcement of RDA publication date
Antony: There is indeed, and you cleverly used one of the several available. You can see by viewing here: http://metadataregistry.org/history/show/id/3396.html that the typo is now fixed. However, the easiest (we hope) method is just to click the feedback button that appears on every registry page. Thanks for letting us know about the problem so we could fix it.
