Sorry. That was rude, and uncalled for. I disagree that the problem is easily solved, even without the politics. There've been lots of attempts to try to come up with a sufficiently expressive toolset for dealing with biblio data, and we're still working on it. If you do think you've got some insight, I'm sure we're all ears, but try to frame it terms of the existing work if you can (RDA, some of the dublin core stuff, etc.) so we have a frame of reference.
