I believe that this is exactly the wrong question. I believe the relevant question (and the only relevant question) for BIBFRAME is "What is the best, simplest, mapping of MARC to RDF?" As for your comment about my 'upstream'; this whole process is about moving away from single sources of truth to a web; from upstream and downstream to a web information sources. If I still have an 'upstream' once we've rolled out BIBFRAME, we may as well give up now. cheers stuart -- Stuart Yeates Library Technology Services http://www.victoria.ac.nz/library/
