This study aims to identify the descriptive data and bibliographic relationships applied in the bibliographic records of digital libraries of Iran. The accordance rate of these descriptive data, which have been created according to Anglo American Cataloging Rules, is measured by Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard. Design/Methodology/Approach: The present study enjoys practical descriptive-survey method. The method of data collection is observation and analysis. The data gathering tools consist of 3 checklists. This study identifies that the elements associated with the areas like "the artist title and description", "the type of resource ", "the publication areas" and "the Physical description area" are mostly applied among the 8 bibliographic description areas. The survey on bibliographic relationships applied in the bibliographic records of digital libraries show that the Equivalence Relationship and Derivative Relationship are widely used and the application of Accompanying Relationship and Sequential Relationship are at a minimum. Comparing the characteristics of the entities of “work, expression, manifestation and item” based on Resource Description and Access (RDA) Standard with the descriptive data present in bibliographic records in digital libraries prove that most of the characteristics defined in the entities of “work, expression and item” are not available in the mentioned records, but about the characteristics of the entity of “manifestation” a little accordance with the mentioned records is available. Considering the fact that each of the characteristics of the entities of Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard is defined based on the requirements defined in its 2 basic conceptual models i.e. Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) and each of them can cover some of these requirements, the concept and function of each required data element needs to be specificallydefined and classified, therefore they can be properly applied in bibliographical records.

This study investigated the applicability of the Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard in the Library, Museum and Document Center of Iran Parliament.Methodology/Approach: This study was a descriptive survey which employed an evaluation checklist to collect the data. The sample for the study included 156 elements of the listing worksheet of historical documents of the Document Center of Iran Parliament. It was established that only 56 of the descriptive elements included in the worksheet were based on the expert's views. The data of the study was analyzed using descriptive statistics. There was 22.1 % correspondence between the listing worksheet and the elements of Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard. In other words, only 27 elements of the worksheet correspond to the 122 elements of the RDA standard. The findings of the study showed that the listing worksheet of the Document Center of Iran Parliament attends to analytic and systemic elements, but descriptive elements are less attended to. Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard is more applicable for the descriptive listing of archival sources. It is suggested that the document center of Iran parliament include the proposed 49 elements which are based on the core elements of RDA standard in their worksheet to improve the description and organization of their databases.

RDA (Resource Description and Access) is the new standard for resource description and access designed for the digital world. This new standard is superseding the Anglo American Cataloguing Rules 2 (AACR2) and attempts to address the challenges of the new age of information and to develop new rules for description of and access to modern media and the resources available in databases. The increasing tendency in libraries and information centers to include digital resources makes familiarity with the new rules like RDA necessary. In the present paper a brief introduction of this standard and its requirements and goals are presented, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of the structure of this model and its foundations: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD). In addition, the main differences between RDA and AACR2 have been surveyed.
