Actually, the way I read it, FRBR and FOAF are entirely different realms, although it is possible that FRBR:Person could be contained within foaf:Person. FRBR states that it does not attempt to define persons EXCEPT as they relate to bibliographic description, which means that it does not exist to describe every person on a social networking site (which FOAF does). > Are you saying that there is a usable distinction between: > > 1. a bibliographic record, and > 2. the data contained in that bibliographic record? Yes, and it is usually referred to as "administrative data" -- that is, data about the record (who created it, when it was last updated), rather than the data about the subject of the record. Sometimes that is contained within the record, sometimes it is contained in a wrapper, as in METS and OAI. kc -- Karen Coyle kco...@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list Ol-tech@archive.org http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to ol-tech-unsubscr...@archive.org
