Eden wants information

Back in February I mentioned that Brad Eden will be doing an issue of Library Technology Reports all about FRBR. He recently sent out a call for information and implementations:

I will be writing a _Library Technology Report_ due in September on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, or FRBR. I have done quite a bit of research and study for this, and am now asking the library community to help in making sure that I am able to include as much as possible on current information, research, and case studies of implementations that have incorporated or use the FRBR model. I would appreciate any and all assistance in this.
