That's the big question. The OL "book" is not a FRBR manifestation... it's a thing of OL's own invention that has some elements of manifestation, expression and even work. This is somewhat like having a MARC record in a database that has created FRBR Work "records", but that hasn't separated all of the data into WEMI; instead, the original bibliographic record remains somewhat unchanged. It's similar to WorldCat's implementation, I think. The problem is that we don't have an entity defined for it, and we need something that can represent a general bib record*. I feel like calling this frbr:Manifestation is going to come back to bite us, somewhat like all of the erroneous owl:sameAs declarations that are out there in the wild. I'm stumped at this point. (* Actually, I am beginning to think that the rigidity of FRBR makes it almost unusable in real situations with existing (and future non-frbr) bibliographic data.) > > Finally, I wonder if the issue of trailing slashes could be dealt > with? [1] Yes. That's because the book data comes out of a different template, and adding the slashes means reworking a bunch of the template code. It's on the list.
