Thanks Chris
On the first point, I’m wondering if it was just a co-incidental set of failures of the Amazon look-up (i.e. maybe it was attempted, but not successful; rather than not being attempted). Having taken the ISBN values out of the chapter element of that record, the book jacket is – for me, right now – displaying OK.
http://resourcelists.ntu.ac.uk/items/551AF260-F008-24E9-2681-075B27B03451.html
Here’s a fresh item where the ISBN-10 is only in the ‘is part of’ element, and the jacket is displaying fine (along with the book vendor look-up)
http://resourcelists.ntu.ac.uk/items/1175B7A0-7EC9-3C93-4052-F52EB0A11187.html
Could the ‘is part of’ look-up fail be intermittent; or was the drop-out unrelated to the ‘part of’ element? Anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Two quick questions on the “is part of” option – which is a welcome, and useful, enhancement.
Book jackets
When adding a “Chapter” element to a “Book” record, the book-jacket look-up is not triggered (because the Chapter element does not [and should not, really] contain an ISBN; even though the “Is part of Book” element does, I’m assuming). If I add an ISBN string to the Chapter element, the book-jacket look-up is triggered – but the ISBN properly belongs to the book, not the chapter; and I don’t really want to have to repeat this element. Is this accidental or by design (because the chapter does not have its *own* image?)
See a demo example (with extra Chapter IBSN, triggering the look-up) here: http://resourcelists.ntu.ac.uk/items/FB02DDC0-626F-DA3E-63C0-B1C2F266CEE0.html
If you're having to add the ISBN to the chapter to trigger the bookjacket, that's a defect we should fix.
I'd be interested to know if the Amazon pricing drops away too when the ISBN is removed from the item above.
Authors and editors
If I bookmark the book without adding an “is part of”, all three authors/editors are displayed:
However, after adding an “is part of”, only one author (and some stray punctuation) displays:
See a demo example here: http://resourcelists.ntu.ac.uk/items/FB02DDC0-626F-DA3E-63C0-B1C2F266CEE0.html
Again, is this a bug or a feature J
Again, a defect. We should fix that.

Hi everyone,
We released a new version of Aspire today. We added:
* Ability to specify "is part of". When bookmarking, it is now possible to manually add a primary item which "is part of" the actual thing being bookmarked. For example, say you are bookmarking a book fromAmazon.co.uk, but you actually want to describe a particular Chapter of that book in Aspire. Aspire brings in metadata for the book as a primary resource. Now you can select to add "is part of" from the field menu and add a Chapter (which is part of the book) in front of the book resource.
Here are some screenshots showing the process:
We also added:
* CSS body IDs on main pages. This makes it easier to style specific pages in the application
Thanks,
Chris Clarke
