It sounds like people are only talking about a single type of series, but I think there's more under the surface than this.
Freebase models (at least) two different types of series: http://www.freebase.com/view/book/literary_series http://www.freebase.com/view/book/book_edition_series The later is for editions, as its name implies, as opposed to works, so the series are typically put together by publishers as opposed to authors. I think it's useful to be able to model both types of series (Harlequin Romance #1347 would probably belong to the latter type). There's also http://www.freebase.com/view/comic_books/comic_book_series since comic books tend to be modeled differently than traditional literary works. All types allow for modeling hierarchy of series so that you can describe super/sub-series. Tom p.s. ISFD also has both Series and Publication Series e.g. http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pubseries.cgi?579 _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
