Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to determine the match rate of the agent entity relators and the inter-resource relationship designators of RDA with the relators and designators of the Islamic – Iranian publication context.
Method: This research was accomplished using content analysis and comparative methods.The research population consisted of bibliographic records related to the collections of two major bibliographic families, Nahj al-Balagha and Masnavi-ye Ma'navi, from the national bibliography of Iran, representing Islamic-Iranian publication contexts, respectively. All bibliographic records related to these two bibliographic families were examined without sampling. The data collection tools were RDA Appendices I and J, used as checklists. To achieve the research objective, in the initial phase of the study, through a review of bibliographic literature, terms and expressions representing relators and relationship designators were extracted, and their consistency with each other was examined. Subsequently, in the following stages, the alignment of relational designator (from Appendix J) of the RDA standard with the designators of the Iranian-Islamic publication context, and the alignment of relators (from Appendix I) of the RDA standard with the relators of the Iranian-Islamic publication context, were examined in the records of the research community members under study.
Findings: The research findings indicated that, overall, there was satisfactory alignment in many cases between the agent entity relators and the Inter-resource relationship designator in the RDA standard and the relators and designators in the Iranian-Islamic publication context and there is no suitable alignment between the relators and the bibliographic relationship designators used in the context of Iranian-Islamic publications.
Conclusion: The results indicated low alignment between the relators and the bibliographic relationship designators used in the Iranian publication context. However, satisfactory alignment was observed between the relationship designators among resource entities in the RDA standard and those used in the Iranian-Islamic publication context. Additionally, the results indicated that there is a favorable alignment between the relators used in the Iranian-Islamic publication context and those of the RDA standard. The lack of consistency and uniformity in the application of designators and relators in the examined bibliographic records is one of the primary reasons for the aforementioned discrepancies. Additionally, the incorrect use of designators and relators is frequently observed in most contexts.
