Thanks, Eric (and all!) - by non-book you mean other formats (films,
music, etc.?) OL doesn't have records for those (yet). There is an
author record, but I'm not sure how it might be used (it doesn't have a
link to LCNA). I supposed a COinS with the author name and dates would
be of some use... ? If anyone is interested, the list of elements are
at: http://openlibrary.org/type
Each "type" could have its own COinS if it makes sense.

Not just the book pages, I might add! Wikipedia probably has the most
non-book COinS deployed; Worldcat is the premier site for book COinS.
A recent but impressive addition to the COinSiverse is ResearchBlogging- see

I have a question to ask for the Open Library folks and I couldn't quite
figure out where to ask it. This seems like a good place.
Would it be useful to embed COinS in the book pages of the Open Library?
Does anyone think they might make use of them?
Thanks,
