[Karen Coyle]

structure and relationships?

Quoting Tim Spalding <tim at librarything.com>:

> On the subject of the FRBR model, I think discussions have reached—and
> may have started at—a point of diminishing returns. What's needed is
> *doing*, and doing in a community.

> LibraryThing introduced a FRBR-like model more than three years ago,
> and the community has spent the last three years working together
> through all the edge cases and difficult problems, establishing
> precedents and secondary rules. We've changed the model and the
> features that it triggers. We haven't finished, but we're farther
> along, and much farther than any one person or even group of people
> could have come before we did it.

> This sort of rules-plus-conversant-tradition is what undergirds many
> rule-bound but human institutions (law and religion come to mind). One
> shouldn't expect library science to operate differently.
