Thanks for that, Henry. That's interesting to know! 

For what it's worth, I don't think we need to worry about a triplestore/graph
store for a long time.

I think we could already store BIBFRAME records in the biblio_metadata table. I
suppose the hardest thing would be deciding whether a particular biblio uses
BIBFRAME or MARC as its primary record, and then making sure there was an
appropriate transformation at indexing time.
