Jon (others),
Just to extend what Nate said about the URL for viewing a class and related properties:
* Early on I had a real hard time with the BIBFRAME documentation because I usually clicked on “List View” from the documentation. If you click on Category View<http://bibframe.org/vocab-category/> it is organized by like properties, but you can click on the classes in the "used with" column to see properties associated with the class.
* If you know the class you’re interested in you can change the following URL syntax to see the class, http://bibframe.org/vocab/{Class}.html , e.g. http://bibframe.org/vocab/Instance.html sends give you the Instance class with its associated properties.
Hope this helps,
Steven

Subject: [BIBFRAME] How is Bibframe data stored?
Hi all,
I’m wondering how Bibframe data is stored? I’m wondering if anyone has thought about defining mappings between it and a relational database or at least an object oriented programming model that could be manipulated easily? Does such a thing exist, or are ILS implementers left to figure this out on their own? How is a programmer expected to work with the data? XML parser, then, build your own programming model? On bibframe.org there is a list of classes and properties. If you click on a class, it takes you to a once sentence description of the class. However, it doesn’t enumerate the properties that are applicable to that class. Shouldn’t there be a list of the properties for the class?
Jon
