[open-bibliography] MARC Codes for Forms of Musical Composition

Tue Jul 6 06:50:42 UTC 2010

I think in general it's not necessary to set any rdf:types. The resource
turns into a particular type during interpreting a particular property.
But setting rdf:types is important in cases using new specified and not
standard compliant properties (i.e. extensions to SKOS)

Regarding the German translation of MARC 21:

First of all, last year we changed to MARC 21 as German interchange
format, so MAB is gone...

I already asked a colleague if we have a kind of table representation
just comprising the code translations...more information comes up soon!

Cheers, Alexander

My question was more based on the fact that I don't think anything
should have explicitly set multiple rdf:types in there.

If so, I'm curious to what they are.

I think it is perfectly valid to have multiple types. At the
very minimum everything is an rdfs:Resource whether
stated explicitly or not. If something breaks when it is
explicitly stated because it doesn't like multiple types I
think that something is itself broken...
