--- Comment #1 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
I don't know how out of date this is and I haven't been following the BIBFRAME
listserv but according to the Library of Congress website:

"BIBFRAME is far from an environment that you could move to yet. The model and
its components are still in discussion and development -- a work in progress.
When it is more mature, vendors and suppliers will need time to adjust services
to accommodate it. And then we can expect a mixed environment for some time."

I see Zepheira working with LoC, SirsiDynix, and the NLM... but BIBFRAME still
seems like a distant future kind of thing... even though libraries want it now
because they're hearing it's the new hotness.

Regarding that tool:

"This XQuery version was developed by the Library of Congress Network 
Development and MARC Standards Office.  This transformation is under 
development and does not at this time represent a canonical transformation 
of MARC Bib data to BIBFRAME resources. It is made available for 
evaluation and comment."

I don't think XQuery will be very usable for us, but certainly something useful
to watch. Might also be worth looking at
https://github.com/lcnetdev/marc2bibframe-python although it doesn't look like
it's been touched in years whereas the XQuery version was updated only 5 days
ago.
