Re: Wikidata book schema

Thanks, Antoine. I hadn't seen this. I note that they refer to "Work" 
and "Edition" which is also the terminology used by Open Library. (Plus 
they have "item" for individual books, like rare books.) I've begun a 
(hopefully short) round-up of bibliographic sites to see what levels of 
abstraction they use, and what they call them. This fits into that nicely.
