deborah: the Library of Congress cataloging numbers for children's literature, technology, and library science (Default)
I got to thinking today (during Julie Allinson's presentation on using FRBR to model e-scholarship) about LibraryThing and FRBR. Unusually for me, before I braindumped here, I looked around to see what others have said about this. And I found that of course of course, Tim is not unaware of how the LT works system overlaps with some of the goals of FRBR.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
