Okay, thanks all. I will set up the code to split the entities into
different files. Is there a rule of thumb for when a Thing needs to be
split out into a different file with its own URI vs being a blank node? For
instance, maybe blank nodes one level deep are okay but nested ones are
not. But I don't see the point of making a URI for the Title of a yearbook,
for instance, when virtually no one is ever going to reference the Title
outside the context of the larger Work or Instance.
