Mac, 

This work has been my vocation, avocation, and now… seeping into my vacation. <Steven> a <DullBoy> . This is my last email while on vacation. :) 

Comments below.

Thanks,
Steven

My proposal for a SeriesTitle is to say that an Instance has a Title that refers to a Series resource, modifying the Instance and referring to the Series. The title needs to be a RDF resource in order to do that more on this below.

+1

I’ve been mulling over the idea of a subgraph that patterns a Work serving a SeriesPart role. The SeriesTitle on the Instance could refer to that role, and/or the Instance itself could be related as a manifestation of the PartRole. This way (as Mac pointed out) a Work could serve a SeriesPart role with other Series.

Or… we could use bf:Works as Expressions. With a bf:Work as Expression (the Expression serving the “subgraph”) and Titles as RDF resources we could say:

<Work1> a <bf:Series> .

<Work2> a <bf:Text> .

<Work3> bf:expressionOf <Work2> ;
	bf:instance <Instance1> ;
	bf:series <Work1> ;
	ex:seriesPartNumber “3” ;
	ex:seriesPartType <ex:VolumeRDFResource>.

<Instance1> bf:title <SeriesTitle1> .

<SeriesTitle1> rdfs:label “Blah Blah Blah Series”@mumble ;
	a bf:CoverTitle.
	bf:descriptionSource <Instance1> ;
	bf:relatedTo <Work1> .


Note, Work2 can be used in contexts outside of the Series, and the SeriesTitle can refer to the Series RDF resource and have additional types. I’ve also made an RDF resource for the concept of volume so that it could be more machine actionable. How the word “volume” appears on the instance would be a literal value in the Instance title graph.


Off to the surf… to erase the fried hard drive.


Yours,
Steven
