"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."
"Do you know what I think they major problem is? Lack of knowledge management. No idea about digital persistent identification. No subject-centricity. No understanding of semantics in data modeling. No clue about ontologies, inferencing, guides by analogy, no real
knowledge about collection management ( ... wait for it ... ) with multiple hooks and identities, no serious *want* to learn these things, and definitly no budget if they did."
Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative. The Library of Congress is launching a review of the bibliographic framework to better accommodate future needs. A major focus of the initiative will be to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 exchange format in order to reap the benefits of newer technology while preserving a robust data exchange that has supported resource sharing and cataloging cost savings in recent decades.
