I should actually say that there are guidance pages for coherent description, minimum description, and effective description. But the guidance for effective description just says that it meets the mimimum description plus additional elements determined in application profiles, policy statements, cataloger's judgement, and availability of information.

I believe Core Elements has been replaced by the concept of minimum descriptions. The guidance page for minimum description is at Guidance > Resource description > Minimum description of a resource entity. Most of what used to be Core Elements would now be specified in metadata application profiles for specific communities.

Does the new toolkit maintain the same list of RDA Core elements as the original toolkit? I can't find information on it.
thanks,
