One of the tasks of the working group will be to create a list (soon  
to be out of date) of existing library-related or library-useful  
ontologies. At the moment it seems to be hard to discover ontologies,  
which may be why people tend to get to know one and then use it for  
almost everything.

Some library-specific bibliographic ontologies are:

FRBRCore  http://vocab.org/frbr/core
FRBRer  http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frbr/frbrer/
ISBD  http://iflastandards.info/ns/isbd/elements/
RDA  (multiple; linked from http://metadataregistry.org/rdabrowse.htm)
