NLC vs. CALIS
• As the two leading bibliographic institutions in China, cataloging policies of National Library of China and CALIS are inconsistent in many ways.

AACR2 vs. Descriptive Cataloguing Rules for Western Language Materials
• Descriptive Cataloguing Rules for Western Language Materials was developed for the community to catalog western materials.
• 1st ed., 1985; Rev. ed., 2003. • “There will be certain difficulties of using
international standard [AACR2] directly, especially in terms of how to describe Chinese personal and corporate names.”

• The translation of RDA into Chinese started in May, 2012.
• Based on a print version.• Further works to be done: RDA Toolkit,
registered vocabularies…

RDA and Chinese cataloging practices
![Page 15: RDA in China](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556517d1d8b42a08498b4682/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Authorized Access Point
• The concept of main entry / authrized access point is the major obstacle of RDA’s implementation in China in terms of the cataloging practice, since this concept doesn’t exist in the Chinese cataloging system.
![Page 16: RDA in China](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556517d1d8b42a08498b4682/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RDA and the Chinese MARC format
• The community is concerned about when UNIMARC will be updated according with RDA. Only after that, can CNMARC be adapted to the new cataloging rules.

RDA and the semantic web
![Page 18: RDA in China](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556517d1d8b42a08498b4682/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RDA and the semantic web
• Linked data is being paid attention to by a small, yet active group of librarians in China.
• This community is generally excited about RDA for its potential to link library data to a bigger world, however, much more top-down efforts should be invested in this area.

• Local ILS products are still dominant in the market, and will be a potential problem for RDA’s implementation in China, given the low level of awareness of RDA in the whole community.

RDA’s future in China?

Scenarios
• #1 RDA be used uniformly in both Chinese cataloging and Western cataloging communities;
• #2 RDA be used in Western cataloging, while another parallel standard be developed and used in Chinese cataloging;
• #3 Localized standards (based on FRBR and ICP) be developed and used in both Chinese cataloging and Western cataloging community;
• #4 No efforts be done in this area (at least in a short time).
