Karen, again thank you for bringing these things to our attention. From the slides by Renee Register & Maureen Huss of OCLC [1]:
The library community must extend our expertise, as well as our
cooperative and collaborative practices, to include publishers
and publisher supply chain partners
They continue with the outline a plan, preliminary results and place for follow-up -- "Components of the 'Next Gen' process":
* ONIX to MARC crosswalk
* MARC to ONIX crosswalk
* Automated record build and add to WorldCat
* Enrichment software: rules and hierarchies for data mining
and record enrichment using FRBR work sets
* Mapping between terminologies: first up – DDC/BISAC Subject
Headings
* Output files in either MARC or ONIX
