> Book # do we need a separate class for edited books? In years of using EndNote, I solved many problems by having two distinct types, Book and Edited Book (= Edited book of essays by multiple authors, not just a book with an editor). I don't now remember all the difficulties, only that before I had a clear distinction, life was difficult and afterwards life was good. I don't think the problems was limitations of EndNote.
I think the basic semantic difference was that in one the author is primary. The book is presented with the author as the person primarily responsible. The book may have had an editor, translator, etc. but they are secondary. In the second, the editor is the primarily responsible person, even though there may be several authors. Maybe you can have just one category, but then you need a flag saying whether author or editor is primary. I vote for having two categories an Authored Book (maybe just called Book, but I think Authored Book is better) and an Edited Book, even though an Authored Book can have editors and an Edited Book can have authors.
