RDA Sandbox
Comments from users
“… helped us to understand more about RDA and
FRBR”
“… used it when teaching classes …. The students
were rather fascinated to be able to see the full WEMI
53
structure in the database.”
“In my opinion the best thing about the Sandbox is its
clarity. It makes it easy to explain the model. In a
sense it has solved the problem with FRBR in MARC
environment.”
