But again, that's where RDF comes in, they even address the other ontologies to defer to: http://wiki.bibliontology.com/index.php/Development_Brainstorming#Possible_ontologies_to_Reuse > Somehow, though, they have to work together, at least where they are > describing the same thing. Right, but that's how it would work. If these resources were modeled in RDF, they'd have URIs. What you would do is to say 'bibliographic things' you'd use bibo attributes with the URI. To say work grouping things you'd use FRBR/FRAR attributes with the URI. So as long as they're using the same URIs, they're describing the same thing. -Ross.
