Workshop | Cataloguing and Documentation Commission (CDC)
Updating the FIAF cataloguing rules
This workshop will outline the progress made to date on the FIAF Cataloguing and Documentation
Commission's project to revise and update the FIAF Cataloguing Rules. Commission members will
describe efforts to coordinate this work with other international cataloguing initiatives currently in
development, such as the Centre Europeen de Normalisation (CEN) project to standardize cataloging
and indexing cinematographic works and the international cataloging standard RDA: Resource
Description and Access. The workshop will provide an opportunity for all attendees to share ideas
and needs for the project and to comment on its direction and goals.
