Formal Declaration of RDA Vocabularies

N.B. this is highly experimental.

RDA Elements Vocabulary

An initial version of an RDA elements vocabulary, declared as a set of RDF properties, can be downloaded from the following location:

The RDF document was generated using an XSL transformation, from an XML document cut from the RDA Scope Analysis Table (an Excel Workbook) saved as an XML workbook.

The source data for the transformation can be downloaded from the following location:
