This is a great example that allows us to get back to the original question, which I think is one for this group. When one encounters a property or class that one would like to use in a way that is "not exactly as initially meant" - what is the preferred approach? We could: 1) use it, and rely on documentation to clarify our community's use 2) redefine it, so that it fits better into our use case 3) create a super-property or class and a new subproperty or class 4) create a new, unrelated property within our own community space If there is no overall preference, then does this group want to entertain ad hoc suggestions for changes to definitions of properties and classes? kc On 7/24/13 12:59 AM, Martin Hepp wrote: > The serialNumber is in theory meant as a unique item identifier assigned at production or market entrance time, like the serial number of a digital camera, the Vehicle Identification Number of a car, etc. > > A library-specific identifier (like shelf locator ID) is not really a serial number.

We have looked carefully at the full range of schema.org, in particular /Product and /Offer and are aware of these. They do not, unfortunately, satisfy our use case. Should "/Offer" be expanded to be more than "offer for sale" then the concept of a "merchant-specific identifier for a product or service" fits even though the actual term "Stock Keeping Unit (SKU)" is not used in the library community. None of the others represent a local number for an individual item (not product, but single item). >>> >>> Thanks, >>> kc >>> >>> On 7/23/13 2:45 PM, Wes Turner wrote: >>>> Need: >>>> >>>> * lookup/index books by a unique (local?)
