eXtensible Catalog's aim was a to create a discovery on RDA and FRBR bases. The user interface was Drupal based. The last release happened 8 years ago, but the code is still available: https://www.drupal.org/project/xc. There are a number of ideas implemented there - some of them might be applied to QA catalogue as well. There is not running instance as far as I know, but there is a lengthy slide deck, which display the most important features at an earlier stage of the tool: The eXtensible Catalog Drupal Toolkit.
