Nice work. It is interesting to see how many URIs can be used for values in
the record; I hadn't seen anyone attempt that before.
One thing that bothers me is this:
<dimensionsManifestation>
21 cm
</dimensionsManifestation>
...in that it is not convenient for computation. At the risk of bringing in
yet another vocabulary, this would seem to be best expressed as:
<dimensionsManifestation xmlns:dbpedia="http://dbpedia.org/resource/";>
<dbpedia:Centimeter>21</dbpedia:Centimeter>
</dimensionsManifestation>
That brings with it all of the appropriate abbreviations and label translations.
