crl-16320	DeGeorge, Deborah	Quiang Jin. Demystifying FRAD: Functional Requirements for Authority Data. Santa Barbara: Libraries Unlimited, 2012. 143p. alk. paper, $45.00 (ISBN 9781598844962). LC 2012-010910.	2013-07-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1241	48	47	After a brief introduction to RDA and how it relates to FRAD, Jin provides 18 examples of brief RDA authority records, each with an explanation of how they use the FRAD concepts to describe and clarify entities and their relationships to other entities: while the structure of an RDA authority record is, at root, similar to that of an AACR2 authority record, RDA (and the FRAD structure) allows for greater levels of description and for clearer delineation of the relationships between concepts. Jin states, in her introduction, that the book is to “provide a basic explanation of the Functional Requirements for Author- ity Data (FRAD)”; she goes above and beyond this statement of principles in a clearly written, copiously illustrated, and well-organized book that truly does “demystify” FRAD and illustrates how to create authority records according to the principles thereof.	cache/crl-16320.pdf	txt/crl-16320.txt
