Uncataloguing Workshop @ Cardiff University
25th July 2025, 10am to 4pm
The UK Committee on RDA and the Metadata & Discovery Group with our WHELF hosts invite you to an Uncataloguing Workshop, where we will explore the basis of creating useful metadata for all kinds of material to aid discovery.
No prior knowledge is required, just and interest in and curiosity about library metadata. Both seasoned cataloguers and para-professionals and early career librarians interested in metadata, cataloguing, acquisitions or discovery will find this engaging.
Using pencil and paper exercises, we will explore the merit of different ways of thinking about metadata. Experts will be on hand to explain concepts and answer questions.
The Resource Description and Access (RDA) international standard is aligned with IFLA's Library Reference Model (LRM), a bibliographic conceptual model. RDA is a practical implementation of the model and follows the basic structure of the LRM entities
and relationships. The concepts involved, and the practical ways in which we can apply them, will be addressed in the workshop.

standard.
