Thanks for this excellent paper.  Our BIBFRAME group at Stanford 
discussed it yesterday.  We had quite a lengthy discussion and I'm 
hoping others will send in their comments as well, we all had different 
perspectives.

We all agreed that elevating the concept of Event in BIBFRAME is 
needed.  Up until now, the focus has been on the conversion of MARC to 
BIBFRAME for more traditional library resources.  As we move beyond them 
into more complex media and resources that we have never attempted to 
"catalog" before, the concept of event becomes more and more important.  
It also brings BIBFRAME in line with other models such as EDM that allow 
for an object-centric or event-centric approach.  My own comments are on 
broader issues.

bf:Content -  A fascinating concept but I have to admit I hate the name, 
lol.  Content is a very loaded term.  At first I wondered if bf:Content 
was meant merely to be a shell for joining bf:Work and bf:Event and 
linking to bf:Instance.   I see this isn't true, though.  On p. 42: By 
allowing these properties to be used with bf:Content, catalogers can 
describe the original intention/characteristics of the content, even if 
that is quite different from the characteristics of an instance in the 
collection." This thought certainly resonated with me.  I'm still 
frustrated by the inability of linking a bf:Work to an authority 
although I understand the reason.  If you consider the authority as 
representing the work itself, not just a controlled string for it, it is 
the natural home for "the original intention/characteristics of the 
content."  Maybe bf:Content could serve this purpose as well?

bf:Instance - This may be my misunderstanding, but I have undestood that 
each bf:Work in a resource does not have it's own bf:Instance, there is 
only one for the resource as a whole.  I still struggle with this a 
bit.  Although I'm not sure the paper recommends this, it does seem to 
articulate cases in which it would be valuable to record separate 
instance data for different parts of a collective resource.

BIBFRAME extensions - I think the paper highlights the need to extend 
BIBFRAME to cover various types of resources.  I disagree slightly with 
the technique, though.  I'd prefer seeing the BIBFRAME vocabulary remain 
as simple as possible and, when extensions are needed, to make use of 
other established vocabularies as opposed to incorporating them as part 
of the BIBFRAME vocabulary.  If they were absorbed, the resultant 
behemoth would soon become impossible to manage and keep in synch with 
whatever vocabulary it was derived from.

Sequences - Another critical concept difficult to express in BIBFRAME.  
I agree that this is an area that needs to be resolved in general.
