RDA 3.0

STEP 3.0 : GMD TO CMC CONVERSION

gmd to cmc overview

This phase of RDA processing comprises a series of routines that compare existing GMDs (245 $h) as well as specific positions of the leader and fixed fields to determine the best RDA Content, Media, and Carrier (CMC) types to add to the 33X fields in your records.

At the end of this step, you will find an example table that shows which fields MARS 2.0 checks in assigning the different CMC data values. If your local practices for assigning GMD or CMC differ from MARS 2.0 processing, please contact your project manager to discuss options for altering the way GMDs and CMCs are processed in your records.
