That is encouraging. There certainly is potential in BIBFRAME, and I
think we are all eager to see trial implementations, demonstrating
what it can do, and do better than MARC.
This will then be in stark contrast with RDA and its rigidly closed
business model. For once BIBFRAME takes off, it will have to
come across with seamless access to the underlying rules, and where
these are to be RDA, BIBFRAME's appeal as an open standard is bound to
suffer.
