RDA: Resource Description and Access was developed by the RDA Steering Committee (formerly the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA) as part of its strategic plan to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition Revised, which were first published in 1978. RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focussed linked data applications.

The RSC drafted two Operations documents in mid-2019 to describe the process for proposing changes to RDA content in the beta Toolkit.

• RSC/Operations/4 -- Policies and Procedures for Updating RDA Content
• RSC/Operations/5 -- Guidelines for Discussion Papers, Proposals, and Responses to Them

These documents will continue to be updated as the RSC and RSC communities gain experience with this process.

The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) is responsible for maintaining RDA: Resource Description and Access.
