I don't this so - the discussion slipped to general data modelling
questions. For the specific, limited use case of twitter annotations I
bet the recommended format from [2] will be fine (title is implied as
common attribute, url is optional):
{"book":{
"title": "...",
"author": "...",
"isbn": "...",
"year": "YYYY",
"url": "..."
}}
I only miss an "article" type with a "doi" field for non-books.
Cheers,
Jako
