Description:

It can be difficult for the newcomer and even experienced RDA members to have a picture of the many activities going on in the Working Groups and Interest Groups.  The Atlas of Knowledge (http://core.cloud.dcu.gr/rda_aok/) is an online system, developed within the RDA Europe project, intended to present the activities of the Working Groups and Interest Groups in a concise, contextualised way to help make sense of them and to find usable results.  The webinar will present the goals and approach of the Atlas of Knowledge and will include a demonstration of the current system.
