Hi Cindy,

Deduping can happen in any number of ways, but making use of shared 
identifiers is the preferred way to address this issue.  You could adopt 
a shared identifier or you can an indicate that your Thing is the same 
as a this other Thing.  In schema.org's vocabulary, you'd use 
schema:sameAs [1] to achieve the latter.  Short of a shared identifier, 
it becomes an exercise in comparing attributes (labels, other details) 
between two Things to determine sameness.  It's best to make use of a 
shared identifier when possible.

When it comes to the bibframe/schema distinction, this will work itself 
out in time.   For a variety of reasons, organizations may choose to use 
Bibframe as a more library-specific vocabulary but publish the data for 
general consumption (read: for Google and others) in the schema.org 
vocabulary.  If, over time, large volumes of data are published using 
the Bibframe vocabulary, and Google (or other engines) see a benefit to 
consuming Bibframe directly, then that's what they'll do.

Whether Bibframe or schema, invoking shared identifiers will be more 
important to deduping entities than the vocabulary used.

Best,
Kevin

I'm NOT really looking for huge linked data projects where large record sets are marked up, but more simple SEO practices for displaying rich snippets in search engine results.
