particularizing tendencies.” — Roland Robertson
Glocalism is playing at multiple scales at once.

Examples of unplanned interconnection• Two for the price of one:
• An RDA outsider at the Washington University St. Louis adopted RDA Foundational Terminology and found it beneficial in establishing data models and workflows their community Air Quality Community Catalog. As they went along they also found that using the RDA Data Type Registry model was helpful in making the implicit assumptions of the data more explicit.
• One type of interconnection leads to another. • Two unrelated RDA groups centered at different parts of the word
are able to broaden traceable connections from data center to publisher then to researcher and institute. All centered around the data and resulting in improved credit, metrics, and provenance.
• Centrality of PIDs
