"I think we've gotten to the point in these discussions where we have to
define our terms. In the same way that "MARC" means both a structure and
data elements and a content standard, the terms FRBR and RDA are now
taking on multiple meanings."
by Patrick Le Boeuf, Library Curator, Department for Standardization, Bibliothèque nationale de France. FRBR shows innovative features, particularly with regard to activities related to the “Semantic Web,” but also elements of conservatism..

Datos.bne.es is the Linked Data service of the National Library of Spain. It is
a joint experimental development by the BNE and the Ontology Engineering Group (a leading pioneering group in Semantic Web in Spain, from the Technical University of Madrid), whose aim is to explore capabilities of an alternative enhanced view of its bibliographic and authority records, based in FRBR as a reference model and Linked Open Data as a web-friendly publishing and exposure frame.
This vocabulary is an expression in RDF of the concepts and relations described in the IFLA report on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR).
The German National Library is currently generating training materials and making these available to all libraries and other cultural institutions in the German-speaking countries to coincide with the introduction of the new cataloguing code Resource Description and Access (RDA). The intention of the German National Library is to support the associations, libraries and other institutions in developing their own training materials and to help avoid duplication of work.
