The issue is/was that OL did not maintain any commonality of identity between the 100 and 600 fields, as Edward's email earlier today explained. However, that can be retrieved, and then the result should be pretty much the same as what happens in MARC, which is that the entity is the same, but it has a different relationship to the bibliographic item being described (subject v. author). kc > > Jonathan > ________________________________________ > From: ol-tech-boun...@archive.org [ol-tech-boun...@archive.org] On > Behalf Of Karen Coyle [kco...@kcoyle.net] > Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 5:51 PM > To: ol-tech@archive.org > Subject: Re: [ol-tech] Author RDF for testing > > Quoting Erik Hetzner <ehetz...@gmail.com>: > > >> In other words, we have a Person (e.g., [2]), a Person as >> bibliographic entity (as in FRBR), and finally one or more >> bibliographic records about the person, (e.g., [1]).
