Concerning Mac's question on VIAF, I would like to draw your attention to information on the website of the German National Library. http://www.d-nb.de/eng/wir/projekte/viaf_info.htm
Is there more information about the time frame? The very brief description just says "During the present phase of stage 1" but it doesn't tell what phases there will be in stage 1 or the remaining three stages nor when the whole project commenced and when a production stage can be expected to be reached. Is there cooperation between VIAF developers and RDA developers? Potentially, VIAF might solve many problems indeed. The entire cataloging community will therefore be eager to learn more about it.
