"From Authorities to Identifiers" by Jodi Williamschen of III put me in mind to start thinking of how we'll process authority records, perhaps as an alternative phase within or supplementary to marcpatterns.py.

The article mentions how the older basic authority record had a valid heading (MARC 100), a cross-reference (400), and a citation (670), "just like I learned in NACO training." RDA seems to add detail fields places associated with the person (MARC tag 370), the person’s occupation (MARC tag 374), gender (MARC tag 375), and language of publication (MARC tag 377). The article later makes a bit of a leap to VIAF and the ISNI it uses.

More information in LC's MARC intro.
