Thank you for your kind words Eric, I have a confession to make, however.

My post was largely me thinking things through out loud in preparation for
making this submission
https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/49470473-linked-data-powered-sets-and-collections
to my library vendor (Proquest / ExLibris)

If you're an ALMA user (or a British Library user, since they're moving to
ALMA) and that sounds like a good feature to have, I would encourage you to
vote for it.

cheers
stuart
