XOBIS: "superior to FRBR"?

A friend and colleague alerted me last week to the XOBIS schema for bibliographic information, from Stanford. I've yet to fully read the documentation, but it looks interesting at first glance. I see some immediate similarities with indecs, although I don't know that model all that well either. My informant reported that an IFLA representative characterized the XOBIS model as "superior to FRBR." I can't wait to decide for myself.

Thanks for the feedback, Kevin, and for the links. Nice to meet ya'. :-)

I never did finish reading the XOBIS documentation - you've now shamed me into vowing to do that this weekend. I've already read a bunch that inspires me to talk some more about the project on the blog. I'm impressed!
