As I was thinking about handling parts again, I'm thinking maybe it should be pretty simple; that it shouldn't require anything in particular, except maybe a way to identify the part location within a larger work (page or chapter numbers, for example). Let's take an example of an episode of a TV show that is contained on a DVD (not coincidentally the same structure as a book chapter). episode is a work it is manifest (or expressed?) as: A. partOf a television show (a serial), with identifier of "broadcast date" B. partOf a DVD, with identifier of "chapter number" (and perhaps "volume number"?) While I was first thinking the linking relationship would happen strictly at the work level, I guess in this case, the idea might be to link the episode manifestation to the other two "isPartOf" containers, which are works? I really don't get SQL, but can this now be represented in the database? Put differently, notwithstanding the initial UI focus on movies, can the database now handle a journal article, complete with volume, issue and page numbers in their own fields? Bruce |
