My suggestion for an even better scenario: A person grabs a book off the
shelf, and enters the ISBN into an application they use for dealing with
books.  (LibraryThing, Desktop home cataloging software, professional
cataloging software (!), firefox extension, local library web page, or
the OpenFRBR web site itself). The application contacts OpenFRBR behind
the scenes and checks all available....

Think of the way the CDDB works.
