The Story So Far…
Recommendations of Testers• Rewrite the RDA instructions in clear, unambiguous, plain English. • Define process for updating RDA in the online environment. • Improve functionality of the RDA Toolkit. • Develop full RDA record examples in MARC and other encoding
schemas. • Announce completion of the Registered RDA Element Sets and
Vocabularies. • Demonstrate credible progress towards a replacement for MARC. • Ensure and facilitate community involvement. • Lead and coordinate RDA training. • Solicit demonstrations of prototype input and discovery systems
that use the RDA element set (including relationships).

Semantic Web/Linked Data
Wikipedia says…
“Linked Data describes a method of publishing structured data, so that it can be interlinked and
become more useful. It builds upon standard web technologies, such as HTTP and URIs - but rather than using them to serve web pages for
human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read
automatically by computers.”
