Wouldn't many of these identifiers be resolvable URIs? Although I, too, am reluctant to mix identifiers and locators, it seems to be inevitable since so many are both (wikipedia page URLs/URIs and OL URLs/URIs for example). But you are right, there are many identifiers that aren't in an http resolvable format (ISBN notably, also OCLC number, although these are not at the work level), so it does make sense in the meanwhile to have an ID field available for Works. In fact, at some point we should start seeing ISTC (int'l std. text code) IDs -- although they will fall somewhere between the Work and the Edition (by OL's definition), so that may prompt the creation of the Expression layer in OL. (Although I personally find the expression entity to be problematically ambiguous.) kc > > Richard > > -- > Richard Light > _______________________________________________ > Ol-discuss mailing list > Ol-discuss@archive.org > http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to > ol-discuss-unsubscr...@archive.org > -- Karen Coyle kco...@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list Ol-discuss@archive.org http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to ol-discuss-unsubscr...@archive.org
