The identifier question worries me, as well. Richard is right that you need both an identifier and its agency, and we can't have a separate property for every possible identifier in existence. Does anyone know if there are communities that intend to rely on the domain name as being sufficient? e.g. id.loc.gov, or dewey.info?

There is an analogous situation in http://schema.org/MusicRecording, where you have /inAlbum. I find the http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle
schema to be very odd at the moment (it has no extensions beyond /Article), but this would be (IMO) the right place for this.

I think folks have been assuming that /description works well enough here. In fact, in library data is much less likely to provide description (MARC 520), than a ToC (505). If we have a ToC then we need at least some way of ordering those repeated elements. (Or force ourselves to provide it as a single string.) I do think that ToC and description are different things, and you do see them treated differently in, for instance, Google Books and in Amazon.

Is this an alternative title, or the title of something else contained within the package?

Could you say more about what you mean by this?

Thanks,
