I have not read the draft, so maybe the following comment is irrelevant, but reading the above makes me think of http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-rdb-direct-mapping-20110324/ that does a direct mapping from a database schema to RDF, then uses SPARQL CONSTRUCT as transformation rules to generate rdf triples with well-known vocabularies. It could be an interesting approach to jump right into RDF-land from wherever you stand, including MARC/XML, then use the common tools available to manipulate RDF to make the data easier to reuse.
