Applying Rda To Contentdm & Islandora, Sai Deng

Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

The Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard has been widely implemented in integrated library systems and its application with MARC has long been discussed, but its applicability in content and digital asset management systems and with non-MARC standards hasn't been much addressed.
