RDA 7.0

STEP 7.0 : AUTHORITY CONTROL

rda authority control

In November 2010, Backstage created several authority control options for processing RDA bibliographic records (040 $e):

1. AACR2 & RDA -> AACR2
2. Separate out RDA bibs
3. AACR2 -> AARC2, RDA -> RDA; nonmatches search other database
4. AACR2 & RDA -> AACR2 (modified)

Regardless of which authority control option is chosen, there are several of our bibliographic validation rules that are not run on RDA bib records. This includes:

• Subfield Updates and Deletes (namely any rules that remove relator terms)
• Field Conversions and Additions
• GMD Standardization

rda master authority file

In order to facilitate authority matching in RDA bib records, Backstage has created a separate master authority file of RDA authority records. This includes any authority record with 040 $e rda as well as any AACR2 authority record with 7XX x4.
