1) The document discusses OCLC's role in metadata standards beyond MARC, including their crosswalk web service that translates between formats like MARC, MODS, DC, and ONIX. 2) It describes OCLC's involvement with RDA development and testing. 3) It introduces WorldCat Identities, which provides FRBRized views of bibliographic data clustered by work.

24. It is abstract enough to handle any kind of metadata markup.

25. It keeps a close connection between human-generated translation logic and executable code.

27. Future priorities Develop a user interface that accepts translation logic and automatically generates Seel scripts. Streamline and enhance some of the Seel language features. Investigate ways to interoperate with the crosswalking software developed at OCLC Leiden. Develop translations for non-bibliographic metadata.

33. OCLC FRBR Work-set Algorithm Provides a FRBR-based view of the data Records clustered into works using author and title fields from bibliographic and authority records Author names and titles normalized to construct a work key All records with the same key are grouped together in a work set or cluster

34. 4.87 records/work set for multi-record sets

35. Share data elements across a FRBR Work Set

36. Work pages beta Provides a rich context from cataloging data
