Re: Family and Book ontologies

Dear Mohamed,

For books, probably you would like to look at the FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO), available at:

http://purl.org/spar/fabio

I think you may also be interested in reading a descriptive ontology article recently published in JWS [1] about the aforementioned ontology.

I hope it might help.

Have a nice day :-)
