• Make it much easier to create linking entries between records, e.g. support point and click creation of 776 and other linking entry fields between records for the same bibliographic content in print or electronic format
• Provide access to full-text of cataloging rules and LC cataloging manuals within the OCLC cataloging interface (via an API that accesses the data sources directly?)
• Provide color coding in the record editing display similar to that provided in a software programming integrated development environment (IDE)
• Provide much more robust tools for analyzing record contents and updating records in batches, perhaps utilizing data visualization display techniques (as per Hillmann & Dushay)
• Improved record validation to check for internal inconsistencies in records (e.g. a in ILLS fixed field, but no ill. in 300|b)
