RDA以AACR2为基础，建立在《书目记录的功能需求》（FRBR）和《规范数据的功能需求》（FRAD）概念模型以及《国际编目原则声明》（ICP）之上。RDA的主要目标是成为专为数字环境设计的，用于资源描述与研究的新标准。能对所有内容和媒介进行编目、生成的记录可在数据环境中使用、应用于国际化的编目环境也是其重要目标。推动RDA不断发展的机构包括负责人委员会、出版商小组管理基金会和联合执导委员会（JSC）。JSC的主要工作是制定和维护RDA的内容，也负责RDA元素集合各种值词汇表的开发与维护，以及培训、合作与宣传等。RDA正处于不断的完善和发展阶段，对RDA的完善将是持续性的。期待中国参与到未来RDA规则的发展过程中，使RDA具有更广泛的国际性。图5。%Based on AACR2, RDA is built on the strong foundations of the conceptual models of FRBR ( Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records ) and FRAD ( Functional Requirements for Authority Data ) , as well as the Interna- tional Cataloguing Principles (ICP). RDA is a new standard for resource description and access, designed for the digital world. Other important goals for RDA are to be a tool that addresses cataloguing all types of content and media; a tool that results in records that are intended for use in the digital environment; a tool that is used in international cataloguing. There are some organizations that keep RDA going: a Committee of Principals, a group of publishers who manage the Funds and the Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA ( JSC ). The JSC primarily develops and maintains RDA con- tent ; it is also responsible for developing and maintaining the RDA Element Set and various value vocabularies, providing workshops and seminars on RDA, continuing collaborations with various communities, and promoting RDA through a Web site. RDA itself is evolving, and the process for making changes to RDA is continuing. The JSC welcomes more interna- tional participation and looks forward to working with China to make RDA even better. 5 figs.
