Karen has a second report out as well: "RDA Vocabularies for a Twenty
First Century Data Environment"
(http://www.alatechsource.org/library-technology-reports/rda-vocabularies-for-a-twenty-first-century-data-environment).
This one is issue 2 of Library Technology Reports, v. 46, and takes the
ideas of the first report into the RDA sphere.
Both are well worth reading ...

It is about 30 p. and is the full content of _Library Technology Reports_ v. 46, issue 1, Jan. 2010.
