I would agree that PREMIS views resources from a very different perspective — 
it really concerns itself only with the digital preservation aspects of your 
content.  The only overlap is in things like premis:IntellectualEntity and 
premis:Representation, which are probably the things you would describe with 
BIBFRAME.
