Abstract:
The author reveals two big issues about RDA in this paper. The first one is that RDA was developed to meet the challenges of the digital environment and places a heavy emphasis on the use in the large-scale computer processing of data. The second one is for describing RDA’s internationalization and interoperability of data beyond the single language and cultural contexts.
Key words: RDA, Digital development, Internationalization, Interoperability of data
