Hi, Gill. For our somewhat complex objects here at ICPSR (i.e., social science research datasets + documentation + survey instruments + "study"-level aggregate objects), I've been using the RELS-TXT Datastream (so RDF/XML) to record the relationships between the objects. That seems to be working reasonably well so far.
I've posted some examples and comments at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DEV/ICPSR+Content+Models+for+Social+Science+data Of course, our objects are considerably different than digital books. But maybe the working example will be helpful? Best of luck in your project! -- bryan On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 6:48 AM, Hamilton, Gill <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi again everyone > > > > More newbie questions …. > > > > Today I am thinking about ingest of complex objects, specifically digitised > books.
