Interesting FRBR development... I sent the following three suggestions relating to FRBR to some individuals having a related discussion about changes needed to FRBR:
1) we need a generalized WEMI that allows one to create a bibliographic record where properties are not bound to a particular group 1 entity. This is needed so that FRBR-ized data can interact with non-FRBR-ized data. 2) the entities of group 3 need to be freed from group 3 and make usable anywhere. Group3 should disappear and be replaced by a "has subject" property that can take any URI or string as its value. 3) as many as possible of the frbr entities and properties need to be associated with other defined classes and properties that exist outside of frbr. I received a reply from someone who I believe is part of the FRBR committee that the group is indeed considering each of these already, and may propose them. I don't know more than that, but it would be good to be having a more open conversation about this. I will send these ideas to the FRBR list, but have no idea how to actually reach the FRBR working group to find out what changes are actually being considered. kc -- Karen Coyle [email protected] http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ 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]
