At the moment we are defining the vocabulary, not the application profile or the application design. When we get to those latter two, then I think some bundling will make more sense. For now, I think our goal should be to atomize the properties to the extent possible. Unfortunately, RDA assumes some bundling that I think will make it hard to be flexible where applications are concerned. kc -- -- --- Karen Coyle / Digital Library Consultant kco...@kcoyle.net http://www.kcoyle.net ph.: 510-540-7596 skype: kcoylenet mo.: 510-435-8234 ------------------------------------
