“…As its global implementation base grows, RDA has faced questions surrounding its ability to balance universal solutions with cultural awareness. 44 Maintaining international consistency while accommodating the needs of specific geographic and linguistic communities will likely remain a challenge, particularly given that RDA's development and publication have been spearheaded by library organizations in Western, English speaking countries. The creators of RDA are, however, committed to increasing its internationalization and global governance.…”

Descriptive cataloging is the process of representing resources by recording their identifying traits and selecting specific names and titles to serve as access points. It is a key component of the larger cataloging process alongside subject cataloging, authority work, and encoding. Descriptive cataloging practices have existed for centuries and, over time, have become standardized through the use of cataloging codes. These documents guide this process by prescribing a consistent set of elements, providing directions on how to record these elements, and offering instructions on how to select and format access points. The goal of descriptive cataloging is not to create perfect representations but to provide data to serve users. The international cataloging standard Resource Description and Access (RDA) is now bringing more institutions under the same set of descriptive practices than ever before. This, along with recent technological developments, promises increased sharing and reuse of descriptive cataloging data.

“…Niu (2013) and Southwick (2015) discussed the process of RDA-based MARC authority records creation or conversion of existing records into Linked Data form. Kimura (2015) compared data elements in over a million of personal, corporate, and meeting name authority records created in China, Japan, and Korea with data elements defined in RDA standard. Thompson's study (Thompson, 2016) focused on the application of the RDA-based field 375 Gender in a small sample of personal name authority records.…”

Information community creates, maintains and shares authority data through large‐scale databases of standardized digital records that describe persons, institutions, places, events, and works, as well as relations between them. This submission presents some results of the content analysis study that explores the authority data change over time in response to change in standards. We analysed over 400 thousand of authority records that comply to the new standard, Resource Description and Access (RDA) and are available through the OCLC database. Records were obtained at two data collection points, with an interval of 22 months. Our analysis identified RDA‐based authority data elements that are widely applied and the ones that need more attention by record creators. Findings reveal a significant increase over time in the level of application of some data elements, including several of the Linked Data‐enabling elements. This study contributes to the understanding of metadata change and its relation to functionality of authority records and improved information access. Directions for future research are suggested.

“Yomi” (readings) in bibliographic data for materials in Japanese

In bibliographic and authority data of materials in Japanese, it is necessary to represent kanji (Chinese characters) and its reading as a pair. Readings, called “yomi” in Japanese, are represented in katakana or the alphabet (romanization form). The readings in Japanese language have many variations depending on the context, so Japanese bibliographic information needs to provide both kanji and its reading as a pair to avoid misunderstandings.The JAPAN/MARC is a machine readable version of the Japanese National Bibliography and provides sets of kanji, katakana-yomi and romaji-yomi (romanization form) of bibliographic and authority data. This paper introduces how readings of bibliographic and authority data in Japanese have been expressed and handled mainly in JAPAN/MARC, compared with international standards.
