How does RDA relate to the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles?
RDA is being developed concurrently with the work being undertaken by IFLA (the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) to revise the 1961 Paris Principles. They are separate projects, but the work of each is being carried out with an awareness of the work being done by the other, related project. A formal relationship exists between the JSC and IFLA and this is supplemented by overlap in working group memberships. Members of the JSC participated in the first of the series of meetings by the international cataloguing experts and have continued to participate in the ongoing work on the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles.
