Chinese versions of RDA terms and definitions appear in Open Metadata Registry

The National Library of China tested out how to add the Chinese translations of the RDA element labels, definitions, and scope notes, and the Glossary labels and definitions into the RDA registry. The work was done in the end of 2015 by the RDA translation team of the NLC.
Finally, the Chinese versions of RDA terms and definitions appear in the Open Metadata Registry (http://metadataregistry.org/) on January 5, 2016.
The NLC staff organized the Chinese translation of RDA (Resource Description & Access) published in April 2014, and is still making efforts to apply the new cataloging rules to local practices.
