But we also have non-physical publications. Digital publications are considered bounded, in that they are not infinite: they can be measured (in bytes). So you could use bibo:Document for them. The main criterion for documents, IMO, is "fixity": has it been recorded in some form? The only creative acts that I can think of that aren't documents by that definition are unrecorded performance (including speeches). Perhaps there are others? kc -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
