Maybe it's better to say that it has potential. It might even be better to declare defeat:) The CIDOC Common Reference Model (CRM) (ISO standard), and the related FRBRoo (not ISO - unsure of IFLA) are quite a bit more mature than the current bibframe outputs. It is not implausible that restarting the bibframe initiatives using this model as a basis would give better results, and take less effort. It is not necessary to use the entire model for each project ; the CRM can serve as a conceptual model for interoperability.The British Museum has a number of active projects based on the CRM. They are experienced with Rosetta Stones. See http://www.cidoc-crm.org .
