Eric,
Actually, all three of the "content standards" I work with (AACR2 for libraries, DACS for archives, and CCO for museums) are available only in print or by subscription. CCO is the most freely available, as there are quite a few sections available online at http://vraweb.org/ccoweb/cco/index.html
However, I've found that if you ask a question about a specific interpretation of AACR2 on the Autocat list, you will probably receive a lot of quoted text in reply <g>

Ironic. The standard is not freely available. :-(
