Some of my previous posts to this list may be relevant:

(Most of what I say about FRBR is applicable to RDA.)

Hi Dan, 
Due to competing demands RDA has essentially dropped off my radar lately.
But there has been a lot of work done there and it seems a shame not to take
advantage of that. 
The broad RDA classes for example <
<http://www.rdaregistry.info/Elements/c/>
http://www.rdaregistry.info/Elements/c/>. The value vocabularies would be
especially useful, e.g. this discussion on carrier types. Unfortunately
those have not been fleshed out on the registry at this point. Information
can be had on the JSC site <
<http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC-RDA-element-analysis-table-rev-2.pdf>
http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC-RDA-element-analysis-table-rev-2.pdf>. 

Perhaps communication/coordination with Chair of the JSC
(jschair@rdatoolkit.org), Gordon Dunsire and/or Diane Hillmann at Metadata
Management Associates (diane@managemetadata.com) would be useful.

Many of us are certainly aware of RDA. While schema.org <http://schema.org/>
and RDA arguably have different philosophies about intended usage scenarios
and ease of use, and we almost certainly don't want to try to just shoehorn
all of RDA (e.g. more than 700 unconstrained properties) into schema.org
<http://schema.org/> , there may be cases where it makes sense to reuse some
of the work that RDA has done for external enumerations, for example. 

Do you have specific ideas for where you think it would be appropriate to
borrow or adopt from RDA?
