Some RDA terminology differs from that of AACR2:

- RDA generally
eschews abbreviations. The primary exceptions are for:
- Units of
measurement
- Abbreviations
that are regularly used in resources and are commonly understood by
users (e.g., "SATB", "op.")
- Abbreviations
that a resource uses to identify itself (e.g., "BWV" instead
of "Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis")
Abbreviations
are used only when they appear on the resource. The exceptions are no. and op. (which
will be used the same way as they were in AACR2: in the title area,
abbreviate only when abbreviated on the item; abbreviate in access points),
thematic index numbers, voice range (SATB, etc.), and units of measurements.
Use "in." for inches; however,
"cm" is no longer considered to be an abbreviation
Use "stereo" and "mono" (also no longer considered to be
abbreviations), but spell out other terms ("quadrophonic," etc.)

Dimensions:
AACR2: the system of measurement used to record dimensions varies depending
on the type of resource.
RDA: metric units are used. (LCPS 3.5.1.3 allows for using inches for discs
(RDA 3.5.1.4.4))
Metric units:
AACR2: they are considered abbreviations and are followed by a full stop
(e.g., cm.)
RDA: they are treated as symbols and are not followed by a full stop (e.g.,
cm).

Recording
and transcribing:
RDA differentiates between recording and transcribing elements.
° Recorded elements: the found information is often
adjusted
° Transcribed elements: the data is accepted as found on
the resource
° The transcribed elements are:

New to RDA:
Capitalization:
RDA Appendix A: LC policy is to follow the capitalization on the resource or
follow the instructions in Appendix A.
Diacritics:
Transcribe when they appear; not necessary to add them when they are omitted
from the resource.
Abbreviations:
RDA Appendix B: Transcribe as found on the RDA preferred source; otherwise do
not use abbreviations
Other things:
Parallel
titles may be taken from anywhere on the resource, and are not
enclosed in brackets
° However, other
title information must be taken from the same source as the title
proper
Statement
of responsibility may be taken from anywhere on the resource
° Transcribe title, terms of address, etc.
° Transcribe all persons named, even when there are four or
more
Edition
statement:
° Abbreviations are used only when they appear on the
resource
° Use the form of numbering (e.g., Arabic, roman, etc.)
that appear on the resource
|
|
|
|
|
Inaccuracies,
omissions:
AACR2: Inaccuracies are transcribed followed either by [sic] or
by "i.e." and the correction in square brackets. Missing letter(s)
are supplied in square brackets.
RDA: Inaccuracies are transcribed as they appear on the source of
information. If necessary, a note may be made correcting the inaccuracy, and
the title as corrected may be recorded as a variant title if it is considered
important for access.
Examples
AACR2 1.0F
245 10 ‡a Morton Feldmans Untiteled [sic] composition für Cello und Klavier
246 3 ‡a Morton Feldmans Untitled composition für Cello und Klavier
RDA 1.7.9, 2.3.1.4
245 10 ‡a Morton Feldmans Untiteled composition für Cello und Klavier
246 3 ‡i Title should read: ‡a Morton Feldmans Untitled composition für
Cello und Klavier
AACR2 1.0F
245 00 ‡a Horn sonat[a]s
246 3 ‡a Horn sonats
RDA 1.7.9, 2.3.1.4
245 00 ‡a Horn sonats
246 3 ‡i Title should read: ‡a Horn sonatas
|
Dashes, brackets
AACR2: ... (ellipses) and [ ] square brackets are replace by —
and ( ).
RDA: The punctuation is transcribed as it appears on the source.
Example
Title appears on the resource as
...Huésped de las nieblas...
...Guest from the mists...
for flute and piano
AACR2 1.1B1F
245 10 ‡a --Huésped de las nieblas-- = ‡b --Guest from the mists-- : for
flute and piano
RDA 1.7.3
245 10 ‡a ...Huésped de las nieblas... = ‡b ...Guest from the mists... : for

Edition
statement: (250
field) will now encompass elements relating to the format of music that were
scattered over various areas in AACR2:
° Musical presentation statement (e.g., Score and parts), an AACR2 element
tagged in the 254 field
° Statements of responsibility relating to the format of music (e.g., vocal
score by [name]), currently tagged in 245/‡c
° Voice range statements (e.g., High voice)

Abbreviations are
not used unless they appear on the resource.
Place of publication: if more than one, only the first is required (2.8.2)
° Include all hierarchies of place, e.g., New Haven, CT,
USA
° No requirement to include place in the US if the
publisher is not in the US
Publisher name: if more than one, on the first is required (2.8.4)
° Use the full name as found on the resource, e.g.,
Theodore Presser Company, Hildegarde Publishing Company
° Include all corporate hierarchies of the name of
publisher
Date of publication: record the date as found on the resource
° LCPS 1.8.2 (first alternative) says to transcribe roman
numerals and not convert to Arabic
Place, name, and/or date of publication not
identified on resource:
° AACR2: [S.l.], [s.n.], [n.d.]
° RDA: [place of publication not identified], [publisher
not identified], [date of publication not identified]
° LCPS instruction strongly encourages:
supply a place of publication in brackets or date in brackets
° Each subfield is separately bracketed:
D1.2.1: When adjacent elements within one area are to be enclosed in square
brackets, enclose each in its own set of square brackets.

Publication dates and copyright
(©)/phonogram ( )
dates are
different elements in RDA and the copyright date may not be used for the date
of publication.
If the date of publication is unknown, use [Date of publication not
identified] or an estimated date in brackets, with a question mark, if
necessary.
Copyright/phonogram date is not required if a publication date is known.
However, for music materials, it is strongly suggested that
copyright/phonogram dates are included, even when they are the same as the
publication date.
° Record the latest copyright date; for recordings, prefer dates
over © dates.

Extent (RDA
3.4)/Physical description (AACR2):
The number and type of units (a physical or logical constituent of a
resource; e.g., a volume, audiocassette, film reel, a map, a digital file)
and/or subunit (a physical or logical subdivision of a unit; e.g., a page of
a volume, a frame of a microfiche, a record in a digital file)
Give the extent if the resource is complete or if the total
extent is known
Use the appropriate term, which may be a term from the carrier type list (3.3.1.3)
or a general term (3.4.1.3)
Notated music:
Some terms are no longer used.

Additionally,
some details are given even if they are standard for the type of resource:
° type of recording: analog, digital (3.16.2.3)
° recording medium (3.16.3.3)
° playing speed (3.16.4.3)
° groove characteristic (3.16.5.3) (e.g., microgroove)
° track configuration (3.16.6.3)
° tape configure (number of tracks on an audiotape) (3.16.7.3) (e.g., 12
track)
° playback (3.16.8.3) (e.g., mono, stereo)
° special playback characteristics (3.16.9.3) (e.g., Dolby, CD audio, DVD audio,
MP3, SACD)
° tape configuration (number of tracks on an audiotape)
° dimensions of cartridges and cassettes, including the width of the tape
° metric units are used for dimensions, but RDA allows for
the use of another system of measure
(e.g., inches: 4 3/4 in.)

General material
designation:
Three new fields (336, 337, 338) collectively replace the General material
designation (245 ‡h)
See Content,
Media, and Carrier (RDA 6.9, 3.2, 3.3 & MARC 336-338)

Notation: indicating
type of notation, even with it is staff notation, is required in RDA (7.13;
see also metadata
registry) and is given in the 546 field: graphic notation, letter notation, mensural notation, neumatic notation, number notation, solmization, staff
notation, tablature, tonic sol-fa.
