I agree. So in my personal opinion, OL should allow multiple series/collection/grouping items, preferably at both the edition and work levels. Instead of a "literary series" field and a "book edition series" field and so on, it can be an open-ended list just like the contributors list (editors, illustrators, etc.) The entries could have a type field (similar to contributors), indicating the kind of series or grouping. That way we can represent all forms of series, and if someone wants to distinguish types they can. - Alan _______________________________________________ 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]
