Followup to my last reply. I did speak to John Attig (ALA's rep to
the JSC for RDA) and he says that the aforementioned website is not
complete yet but should be soon. Much of it is in the hands of one or
more individuals in the JSC, but another holdup is slow gathering of
examples. So Chris, there WILL be a JSC website in the very near
future that could be helpful to your needs, otherwise maybe one or
more individuals on this list have played around with crafting
records using RDA that can share (I haven't).
