	[snip ...]

So if I understand, you've inverted the relationship: instead of a bib
containing books, you now have book as the primary object (in a non-RDF
sense), and its url predicate now points at its bib container. Is that the
intention? if so, url seems rather generic for such a usage. Wouldn't
something like bib or owner or container be more meaningful??
