I see. Actually, my main suggestion was how to identify the collections as
they change through time - the members of those collections change, so you
need to represent the different versions as you go. PROV is not an answer
for everything, but can be a very valuable, practical upper level ontology.

None whatsoever, especially since I helped integrate
vocab.org/frbr/coreand PROV (see
http://tw.rpi.edu/web/doc/parallelIdentitiesOGD and
http://tw.rpi.edu/web/doc/mccusker2012ipaw). Most things that you might say
in FRBR can be inferred into PROV.
