I don't understand the inclusion of InBook, InCollection, InProceedings.
I see these as indicating relationships to another item and could be
expressed in the Relation element. How will one distinguish between
"article" and "InCollection"?
What is the usefulness of the distinction mastersThesis and phdThesis?
Will a system want to do something different with these?
"Unpublished" does not express a resource type to me, but has to do with
mode of publication. And there is always the question of what does it
mean to publish something on the Web. Is everyone who puts something up a
publisher, or are these unpublished?
