Scenario 2 is MARC, which relies upon authorized access points for machine linking and is what most people will be using for RDA in the short term, and will be testing on. Scenario 3 is card catalogs, which relies upon filing rules. Scenario 1 relies upon entities just linking to entities, not necessarily relying on mechanisms such as volatile and difficult-to-manage authorized access points.
