Abstract
Revisits a paper published ten years ago suggesting that a single shared catalog would be more cost-efficient than the many different catalogs libraries maintain now. Compares OCLC and the semantic web as possible providers of the single shared catalog. Includes a critique of both RDA and RDF for encoding cataloging data for a single shared catalog.
