AACR2的升级版――资源描述与检索(RDA)未来会以联机版面世，近日发布了联机版的原型演示视频，可以在有声/无声、800 x 600像素/1024 x 768像素四种方式中选择。看完后，可以参加联机调查，对用户界面及功能发表评论。
可惜演示主页http://www.rdaonline.org/需要代理才能访问，视频则不知什么原因有代理也看不成。只能是空欢喜一场。调查倒是可以参与。视频和调查利用的是其它网站的服务，这样的方式越来越流行了。
为看他们设计联机系统关注些什么问题，在没有看演示的情况下胡乱作了回答，很有负罪感！不过相信会有很多人参与调查，我的自然可以忽略不计。
将调查问题记录在下面，也不枉做一回错事――单看调查，似乎就很有启示。
以下共12个问题，每个问题下各有若干小题，1-7题均按以下四级评分：
