Welcome Gordon, it's great to see you here, I was particularly impressed
how much discussion there was at the Exec Briefing about non-MARC
environments (moving on from MARC, the semantic web, thinking of data
rather than in terms of records).
I am very interested personally but feel there is so much to learn here and
can understand why sometimes discussions focus on RDA in a MARC environment
(as it seems like a more manageable thing to get to grips with!).
