Thanks a lot, Karen!

For Jeff, in fall 2016, I participated in a series of webinars called "From MARC to BIBFRAME: Linked Data on the Ground." The webinars were sponsored by ALCTS. You can find the webinars from http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/MARCBIBFRAME. The speakers of the webinars discussed the status of BIBFRAME implementation at their libraries. I am wondering if it is a good idea for you to reach out to the speakers of the webinars. It might help you prepare for your presentation from different perspectives.

Sincerely yours,

Amanda

Well, you're already wrong. Are you aware of that? Have you looked at the "LD" projects? [1]

Honestly, I think you're getting yourself into a hole. Someone else in our profession did the same thing, claiming that Dublin Core was a failure. That person did not seem to know about libraries, archives, and others who were using it, or that it's the 2nd most used vocabulary in the linked data space, after RDF itself. You'd better have the facts to back up your thoughts.
