I strongly support this, and encourage adoption of an extensible system of placeholders for author identifiers whenever available. If there is already such a system in place or contemplated, I'd appreciate a pointer. The edge case of corporate authors needs to be accomodated. An instructive example is Nicolas Bourbaki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki http://openlibrary.org/search?q=Nicolas+Bourbaki I note that http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL5038897A/Bourbaki_Nicolas_pseud. hints that "Nicolas Bourbaki" is a pseudonym for an organization, while http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL145730A/Nicolas_Bourbaki does not. More straighforwardly, you may have corporate authors like Committees, W3C, etc. I'd be interested to see how RDF experts would accommodate this fork. --Jim ---------------------------------------------- Jim Pitman Director, Bibliographic Knowledge Network Project http://www.bibkn.org/ Professor of Statistics and Mathematics University of California 367 Evans Hall # 3860 Berkeley, CA 94720-3860 ph: 510-642-9970 fax: 510-642-7892 e-mail: [email protected] URL: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/users/pitman _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
