In a NISO webinar Wednesday Eric Miller suggested that there would
need to be an RDA profile built on top of Bibframe before many of the
RDA questions could be addressed. This leads me to wonder if we should
be thinking of Bibframe as an alternative to ANSI Z39.2 and not really
to MARC 21. The work of building an RDA profile for Bibframe could be
taken up by the new ALA metadata committee that will replace MARBI
soon.
That said, I agree with Kelley that Bibframe needs to get the basic
relationships right. Even at the Bibframe level, the relationship
between Work and Instance will need to be more complex than one-to-one
only. That should be something profiles built on Bibframe can
determine, based on how they specify different kinds of work and
different kinds of instance.
