And most of the time, it is about the D in RDA, whereas it is the A
that matters by far the most. Only the A relates to, literally as well
as metaphorically, the Architecture aspect of our metadata. Which
should have been taken on and taken seriously ever since Dublin Core
came along and never really got off the ground.
But wasn't Bibframe conceived to change it all? Up until now, I don't
see how it is going to:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/news/faq.html
There's no talk about Information Architecture, though what is being
said there under "Transition" is certainly relevant.
Then, however, you find a puzzling statement:
"But one factor that brings the data together is the new library
cataloging rule set, Resource Description Framework (RDF)"
that makes you wonder how much they have understood.
