A quick response to a couple of comments on this list. FRBR has not
gone untouched since it was first published. An amendment to the text
was published in 2007.

I believe the FRBR Review Group is considering other changes to the
text. The process is open to anyone. IFLA documents, including FRBR
and FRAD, undergo a process of worldwide review before they are
published. There is also the FRBR discussion list.

IFLA is now in the process of registering namespaces for entities in
FRBR, FRAD, ISBD, etc. It's a first step towards participating in the
Semantic Web.
