This was one of the objectives of the UK PRECIS. It was a disaster.
The mismatches some put down to the ambiguities of language, others to
the complexity of the bibliographic universe, including moving images.
(The Canadian National Film Board tried PRECIS.)
It's interesting to see the same ideas recycle in differing forms over
