Library of Congress ' Bibliographic Framework as a Web of Data' Report

The Library of Congress has published a report from their Bibliographic
Framework Initiative entitled Bibliographic Framework as a Web of Data:
Linked Data Model and Supporting Services
<http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/pdf/marcld-report-11-21-2012.pdf>

It describes an entity based view of bibliographic resources [works, people,
places, subjects, etc.] and an annotations approach to associating
descriptions of holdings, reviews etc.

Much that is relevant to our discussions as a guide to our thinking about
the shape of the world we are trying to describe using schema.org.  I have
added an item to the agenda for next Thursday¹s call to discuss how it could
be relevant to our work.

<personal gripe>I wish [in reports such as this] that they would not use
examples such as Œ¹Functional requirements for bibliographic records², when
the document is explaining how it is drawing inspiration from FRBR ­
confusing or what!</personal gripe>
