The Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control, or WoGroFuBiCo, is having their second meeting on 9 May in Chicago. The topic is “Structures and Standards for Bibliographic Data” and the agenda is up on their site. I’m sure FRBR and FRAD will be mentioned.
Christine Schwartz’s blog post First Meeting of the LC Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control has a fistful of useful links about the first meeting.
