Not sure yet how I would map the issue date property It probably belongs to a block of identifiers of a certain size which may have a history of ownership transfer and an expiration date and all sorts of other administrivial detail, but surely that's of vanishingly small interest to someone who's just trying to uniquely identify a book (edition). Note also that schema.org's Product.gtin13 property includes all ISBN-13 codes (and ISBN-10 codes which have been translated). Tom
