Treat OCLC Work identifiers as bf:Work bf:Identifiers #101

Open dbs opened 5 years ago

The OCLC Work identifier URIs are intended to group like works together, thus if found they should be turned into an Identifier at the level of a bf:Work instead of at the bf:Instance level.

@dbs -- this is actually a specification update. I'm referring to @jodiw01 for review. Thank you!

This is an interesting request, but I'd like to see some MARC examples which illustrate this configuration. Do any exist?

Yes, Laurentian University enriched the records in their catalogue by using OCLC's xID service (RIP) to add 024 entries for Work entity URIs.

The original purpose was to express the relationship in the corresponding HTML via RDFa with schema:exampleOfWork (per the Evergreen library system's defaults).

But, when constrained by matching "worldcat.org/entity/work/", it offers a clear path forward for one subset of possible Work identifiers in the BIBFRAME conversion process.

So, a couple of examples in the wild:
