RDA intentionally separates the storage and display of data (see RDA 0.1 Key
Features). The controlled vocabulary used to record this data for RDA is the
result of meetings with the publishing community that resulted in the RDA/ONIX
Framework. The goal was to use terminology common to the
RDA 9.3.2 Date of birth and
RDA 9.3.3 Date of death
are specific elements to identify a person. They are Core, meaning they
should be included in a description of a person. Only the date (may include
year, month, and day) needs to be given, as the name of the element identifies
it as birth
RDA still very much respects ISBD. Fruitful harmonization meetings with the
JSC and the ISBD Review Group representatives were part of the JSC meeting in
Glasgow. You may wish to follow the outcomes from the Glasgow meeting found on

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but you should know the JSC greatly

so records created using either ISBD or RDA for description are compatible.
The ISBD Review Group is examining where they are no longer
IFLA principle 2.2. states: Common usage. Vocabulary used in descriptions and
access should be in accord with that
of the majority of users. My question remains: how do we know what vocabulary
the majority of users expect to find in a catalog? Have any empirical
studies been done on the

The 1970's ideas of UBC requiring everyone in the world to use the
same form of heading (authority control) and the same bibliographic
