This is exactly my understanding of Bibframe after "attending" the webinar. An RDA profile is needed to connect Bibframe to the granular library metadata cataloged using RDA. A DACS profile is needed to connect Bibframe to things cataloged using DACS. Etc. Bibframe will then become the glue between things described using RDA and things described using DACS or things described using xyz. I think this would be helpful for discovery environments that facet and index things described using different metadata standards. However, I don't quite see how this can be used to exchange metadata. But maybe that's the point. Maybe we won't be asking vendors for bibframe files, maybe we'll just be verifying and creating links between bibframe and library metadata via the RDA profile. So something like: publisher metadata > publisher profile > bibframe < RDA profile < library metadata Or I'm completely misunderstanding something. I do need to re-read the document from November.
