The Program for Cooperative Cataloging, “an international cooperative effort aimed at expanding access to library collections by providing useful, timely, and cost-effective cataloging that meets mutually-accepted standards of libraries around the world,” has a Standing Committee on Standards, which recently released their comments about the draft of Resource Description and Access. There are a few mentions of FRBR inside, but if you’re not interested in finicky details about cataloguing rules, avert your eyes.
