“…Unlike the GMDs, the meanings of the terms were unambiguous (Hawkins, 2011;Yee, 2007). RDA defined content type as "the fundamental form of communication in which the content is expressed and the human sense through which it is intended to be perceived" ("RDA Toolkit," 2010-, 6.9.1.1).…”

“…RDA defined carrier type as "the format of the storage medium and housing of a carrier in combination with the type of intermediation device required to view, play, run, etc., the content of a resource" ("RDA Toolkit," 2010-, 3.3.1.1). MARC designated the 336 field for recording content type, the 337 field for recording media type, and the 338 field for recording carrier type (Oliver, 2010;Hawkins, 2011).…”

“…There was a single underlying principle in RDA to consistently record data and display it with the flexibility that AACR2 lacked. The CMCs provided one consistent place to record these terms with controlled vocabulary so that they could be mapped to labels with whatever language the cataloging agency desired (Attig, 2013;Hawkins, 2011;Oliver, 2010). Since the CMCs were independent of display, it would be easier to change vocabulary over time because they could be mapped to new terminology, and different combinations of CMCs could be mapped without agreement from the user community on terminology for new media (Oliver, 2010).…”

“…Since the CMCs were independent of display, it would be easier to change vocabulary over time because they could be mapped to new terminology, and different combinations of CMCs could be mapped without agreement from the user community on terminology for new media (Oliver, 2010). Each cataloging agency had to make decisions on how to apply them, and testing, experimentation, and use would, in time, have provided guidelines for best practices (Hawkins, 2011). Cronin (2011) looked at the impact of RDA on ILS systems and noted that libraries needed to decide how to handle the integration of RDA and AACR2 records, including whether to continue the display of the GMD and whether to display the CMC fields so that RDA records would be integrated with AACR2 records.…”

“…The labels for the facets were in vocabulary our users would recognize, so some of the mappings changed the label of the field from that in the RDA carrier-type list. One of the stated benefits of RDA was the fact that the CMC information was recorded but not tied to display so libraries could map it to any labels they wish (Attig, 2013;Hawkins, 2011;Oliver, 2010). For example, our code consolidated the carrier types of microfilm, microfiche, and micro opaque card, so that they all mapped to the label "microform."…”

Auburn University Libraries decided to use Resource Description and Access's (RDA's) content, media, and carrier (CMC) fields to display format information in our VuFind catalog in hopes of solving the granularity and ambiguity problems encountered under Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, second edition (AACR2) and the scattering of format information throughout the MAchineReadable Cataloging record. After adding the CMCs to every record in the catalog and writing preliminary code, we have found that RDA, while simpler, still lacks the granularity we need and does not handle new or complex formats as easily as its designers claim.

ResumoEste artigo apresenta os aspectos da catalogação e do Resource Description and Access (RDA) e suas contribuições teóricas sobre as novas diretrizes para a catalogação de recursos informacionais, que tem seu foco voltado para o ambiente digital. Apresenta o atual panorama de discussões teóricas ocorridas no período de 2010 a 2014 entre os especialistas da área. Analisa a literatura nacional e a internacional no que tange à catalogação e temas correlatos, incluindo-se o RDA. A pesquisa configura-se como bibliográfica, do tipo levantamento. Os dados foram analisados por categorização, por meio da leitura e análise dos resumos e das palavras-chaves de artigos. Os resultados da busca nacional e internacional apresentaram temas semelhantes. Foram reunidos em nove grupos distintos: capacitação; catálogos; controle de autoridades; implementações; modelos conceituais; RDA; tecnologia; tratamento descritivo de recursos; e tratamento temático de recursos. Identificou-se que em algumas temáticas, as publicações brasileiras sobressaem como, por exemplo, acerca dos modelos conceituais e do tratamento descritivo, embora com relação ao tema RDA, a produção internacional tem maior destaque. Palavras-chave: Catalogação; RDA; Modelos Conceituais; Catálogos Abstract It presents aspects of cataloging and the Resource Description and Access (RDA) and its theoretical contributions on the new guidelines for the collection of information resources, which have their focus to the digital environment. It presents the current situation of theoretical discussions that took place in the period 2010 to 2014 among specialists. Analyzes the national and international literature regarding the cataloging and related topics, including the RDA. The research appears as literature, the survey type. Data were analyzed by categorization, through reading and analysis of abstracts and keywords of articles. The results of national and international search had similar themes. Its were assembled into nine groups: training; catalogs; authority control; implementations; conceptual models; RDA; technology; descriptive treatment resources; and thematic treatment resources. It was identified that in some themes, Brazilian publications stand as, for example, about conceptual models and descriptive treatment, although with regard to RDA subject, the international production stands out.
