Yes, but again: I don't think type is necessary for resolution. If I have a URL, that's enough. If I have a DOI or an ISBN represented as a URI, then also enough.
Well, if you have an identifier like this, that's all you need for OpenURL resolution, as well, so we're set :) The problem you run into is with 'ambiguous' stuff such as conference proceedings (both ISSN and ISBN) -- the more can help out the resolver, the easier it is to make the connection.
And when you deal with archival documents and such that I sometimes deal with, they typically aren't web resolvable; at all.
Well, for now, possibly. I think this needs to be the next frontier of EAD, actually. It's not enough to have a manifest of what's in a drawer or box, we need to be able to find it from a bibliography. We'll probably need to take this to some other list, though.
That would be a reasonable option, though I'd also suggest a more generic "document" fallback (because real world citation practice just doesn't fit pre-defined boxes). Also, *if* you have a container typed as a "journal" then you also need a broader "periodical."
Well, periodical is fine... it could be mapped to journal (and monograph to book -- I mean, that seems like the logical analogy). The labels aren't that important as long as we can kind of match them (and, no doubt, OpenURL is an inexact science). I don't know, there seems to be a balance that can be struck -- universality vs. immediate functionality (and I think some balance needs to be struck in both directions).

You can get a sense of what I consider important by looking at my RDF schema: <http://purl.org/net/biblio> Am currently revising it. Worth noting that the classes have a hierarchy. So a Book is a subclass of Document, and so forth. It makes the typing more robust.
Right, this is fine, as long as 'book' is mentioned. -Ross. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
