FRBR and Linked Library Data

1. FR reduces duplication of metadata, and therefore effort/cost, by splitting the current unit of process from one bibliographic record into three or four (WEM/I); LLD goes much further by focussing on the smallest possible unit of process, the metadata statement/triple - 2. LLD allows effective interoperability between metadata generated by professionals/cataloguers, amateurs/users, and machines) and ideological (most librarians operate in open, communitarian environments, which can be significantly enriched by the open/global focus of LLD).
