What is MARC 21?
MARC 21 (MAchine-Readable Cataloging) is a set of standards for encoding descriptive information about library materials (books, serials, computer files, maps, music, etc.) in a machine-readable format. It's primarily used by libraries and other institutions to create and share bibliographic records, enabling resource discovery and catalog management.

RDA
RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a content standard that provides instructions and guidelines on formulating data to be used in metadata records. While MARC 21 is a data format, RDA is a set of guidelines for the content encoded within that format. Therefore, RDA complements MARC 21 by providing the rules for describing resources.
LCSH
LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings) is a controlled vocabulary of subject terms used to provide subject access in library catalogs. These subject headings are often encoded within MARC 21 records to represent the subject content of a resource, and thus it complements MARC 21.
