a predictable URL friendly syntax). The item can move anywhere, access
becomes less dependent on specific technologies, and so long as an indexing

This also allowed us to get around some of the areas of more
orthodox FRBR modeling that we found unhelpful. For example, FRBR
doesn't allow language at the Work level, but we think it is
important to record the original language of a moving image at the
top level.

number of data modeling problems that I glossed over in order to

Another possibility would be a simple count of broader terms +
narrower terms + related terms or something like that. Although
PageRank would probably be better, since even some "important" terms
might have a relatively small number of immediately-adjacent links.

now that Talis are active in this area. Does anyone have links to
any specific resources or projects that they know of in this area?
Thanks,

Does it work for folks if this returns either a cover OR a blank? (1x1 jpg).
It may be awkward to test first for an actual cover. Also, if it's ok to not
test for a cover, does anyone have a preference over the blank or a 404
error? I think the API can do b

The above looks really odd to me -- I'm not at all sure that you can
use the class Agent in that way I was of the impression that
classes are used in metadata definitions, but not in instances. Am I
wrong?
I'll answer my own question: yes, I'm w
where we disagree. Context helps, but we have to
be able to move our metadata across contexts and have it still have
meaning. To me, that's what RDF and the Semantic Web are all about.
Freeing our metadata from the need for human interpretation, so it can
be better used by machines. And for me that means precision, precision,
precision. Which will fail at some points, because data is dirty and
messy, but where it succeeds we will make great strides forward.

n the way you indicate above. I think there would be
problems extending some of the elements (e.g. "date" which is defined as
an RDF literal). At this point it gets over my head because of the
subtleties of the DCAM and how properties are defined within its bounds.

WOULD like to see is a good vocabulary of basics -- date, time,
place, currency, etc etc etc. One place where you know you can go and
find all of those key building blocks, so you don't have to hunt all
over god's little acre for something as simple as "price". That would be
really useful.

nsistent..." No sh*t.
And try to clearly code a name like "Pope John Paul II" in FOAF. Oh, and
death dates. No death dates in FOAF because you wouldn't have DEAD
FRIENDS. But authors die.
Best if I stop there.

a lot of elements they have in common.

I agree that a standard that you can't afford to see (and I've run into
a number in my time) is pretty close to useless. I don't know if there's
any chance of convincing ISO of that, however.
