Yes, we WERE talking about different things, but I think I get it now.  
(The time lapse didn't help -- plus I'm quite jet-lagged at the moment.)

OK. This would link the OL edition to a citation. That's great. And I  
like the idea of modeling the OL editions as bibo:Book, so I'll look  
into that. Then I'd need a relationship from the edition to the Work;  
I think that would be quite useful (and seems to fit in with a diagram  
I have of where the BNF is heading with FRBR data).

I'm realizing that I really like the idea of being able to FRBR-ize  
and de-FRBR-ize freely as the situation calls for. And, no, I'm not  
sure what I mean by that... yet, but I'll keep thinking about it.
