RE James Weinheimer's comment that "The problem with finding a genuine FRBR catalog is that it exists only in theory: for a true FRBR catalog to exist, you need another structure underlying the edifice, one based on the FRBR entity/attribute model, and nothing like that exists yet (that I know of anyway)."
The Austlit database http://www.austlit.edu.au/ is an FRBR-based catalogue but one not based on AACR/RDA or MARC. It has beautifully clear displays of works as well as groupings at the expression level (but called 'versions'). Other features of interest are the inclusion of article level records and extensive use of relationships (as you would expect in a catalogue designed for literature). Unfortunately it is a subscription service, but Free author browse is available at http://www.austlit.edu.au/browse and sample search results pages and records are available at http://www.austlit.edu.au/subscribe/samples.xml. Alternatively, slides 10-15 of this presentation include screen shots from Austlit, Trove etc. RDA : Resource Description and Access presentation<http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/documents/QUTstudents31August2010.ppt> Deirdre Kiorgaard RDA information session for QUT students, August 31, 2010 (Please note that some of the other information in this presentation is now out of date.)
