Comment:
The ISO document includes a detailed data element dictionary which one needs to review page-by-page since the form has a different direction and the elements cannot be searchable.
There are rich classes and sub-classes, e.g., under “Resource” there is a detailed one on Bibliographic description and also a whole group of Rights management. (was wondering why no ‘right’ or ‘copyright’ in the Bibliographic Description, found this whole group for that. Good.) The coverage under Party-Person for Personal Status is fine, although those are the ones got more attentions in the real situations related to bibliographic data creation during recent few years.
