2 things about this:

- I actually think Ron's (really interesting) work challenges FRBR, or at least its hierarchical nature. Ron's thinking is very much graph oriented.
 
- On several occasions, Ron has indicated that what is accomplished with the paper tool lends itself very well to be expressed in terms of (interlinked) OAI-ORE Aggregations.
