Thanks, Eric (and all!) - by non-book you mean other formats (films, 
music, etc.?) OL doesn't have records for those (yet). There is an 
author record, but I'm not sure how it might be used (it doesn't have a 
link to LCNA). I supposed a COinS with the author name and dates would 
be of some use... ? If anyone is interested, the list of elements are 
at: http://openlibrary.org/type

Each "type" could have its own COinS if it makes sense.
