Like the need that led to SKOS-XL, there will be a need to make
statements about the Work *graph* (aka, the metadata) - who created it,
when, maybe even cataloger's notes. It would make sense to me for these
to be in one or more graphs of their own, linking to the Work graph but
not to the Work.
Also, the FRBR-defined bibliographic relationships (translation of,
supplement to, edition of, etc.) are all clearly defined as being
between bibliographic "things" - not between bibliographic
descriptions/records. However, I suspect there is a bit of confusion in
FRBR about this as well, since it was originally developed before the
concept of RWO was commonly known and is very "record-y". Need to think
about that.
