Table 1 - 1<br />
RDA GLOSSARY ANALYSIS: TABLE 1<br />
GLOSSARY TERMS, PROPOSED DEFINITIONS, & CONSTITUENCY COMMENTS<br />
KEY:<br />
Terms defined in the RDA text are highlighted in tan<br />
See references are highlighted in light turquoise<br />
NOTES:<br />
The recommendations in the ‘Required in Glossary’ column are based on an assessment <strong>of</strong> each term against the Principles <strong>for</strong><br />
the Inclusion <strong>of</strong> terms in the RDA Glossary (5JSC/Policy/3/Rev). All terms have been checked against Merriam-Webster’s 3 rd<br />
International Dictionary, Unabridged (2002).<br />
Queries (‘’) indicate that it is recommended that JSC discuss the inclusion or otherwise <strong>of</strong> the term in the RDA Glossary.<br />
For some terms defined in the text, JSC will need to decide whether additional Glossary definitions are required. Those <strong>for</strong> which<br />
Glossary definitions have been suggested/may be deemed suitable <strong>for</strong> Glossary inclusion are given here. Please see the separate<br />
table ‘Terms defined in the text – constituency comments’ <strong>for</strong> further details on other terms defined in the text. See also the list <strong>of</strong><br />
terms excluded from this Glossary table: Exclusions: terms defined in the text by the Editor.<br />
See references have no recommendations. JSC should decide if they are required given the nature <strong>of</strong> RDA as a digital resource.<br />
No assessment has been made <strong>of</strong> the wording <strong>of</strong> definitions in terms <strong>of</strong> accuracy, suitability, etc..<br />
