．0.1 Key Features

RDA provides a flexible and extensible framework（框架） for the description of resources produced and disseminated（散播） using digital technologies while also serving the needs of agencies organizing resources produced in non-digital formats.

RDA is designed to take advantage of the efficiencies and flexibility in data capture（資料捕捉）, storage（儲存）, retrieval（取回）, and display（扮演） made possible with new database technologies. RDA is also designed to be compatible with the legacy technologies still used in many resource discovery applications.3（新科技可以容納舊科技）

In RDA, there is a clear line of separation between the guidelines and instructions on recording data and those on the presentation of data. This separation has been established in order to optimize flexibility in the storage and display of the data produced using RDA. Guidelines and instructions on recording data are covered in chapters 1 through 37; those on the presentation of data are covered in appendices D and E.


．0.2 Relationship to Other Standards for Resource Description and Access（RDA不會單獨存在，也不是標準，仍要配合其他標準規定）

RDA is built on foundations established by the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) and the cataloguing traditions on which it was based.

Instructions derived from AACR have been reworked to produce a standard that will be easier to use, more adaptable, and more cost-efficient in its application. A key factor in the design of RDA has been the need to integrate data produced using RDA into existing databases developed using AACR and related standards.

Other key standards used in developing RDA include the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data,  and the MARC 21 Format for Authority Data. 

The RDA element set is compatible with ISBD, MARC 21, and Dublin Core. For mappings of the RDA element set to ISBD and MARC 21.

RDA also conforms to the RDA/ONIX（原本是給書本和經銷商用） Framework for Resource Categorization.
