Uh-oh. I think we've had the discussion we're about to have about Jon's initial list of resource types, which makes sense if his list was drawn from the same source. With all due respect to Simon and Stu, this list appears to be a random grab-bag, mixing form of item and nature of content. (Perhaps it is skewed toward the kind of documents generally produced in TeX?) Left out, just for example, are the entire category of serial publications (journal, magazine, newsletter, etc.). It considers Master's theses and manuals to be types but not dictionaries or encyclopedias. (I don't know if by "print-media" we mean things which are printed or only things composed of letters and numbers -- but presumably scores and maps need a home, too.) Bib-Tex is only one among many, many systems, and hardly primus inter pares -- I don't think compatibility there should be our goal. Let's go back to developing/discussing Roy's list, where high-level categories Document Image Sound Software Dataset Miscellaneous answer the fundamental "what?", and subcategories enumerate the nature of content as necessary. --Robin Robin Wendler ........................ work (617) 495-3724 Office for Information Systems ....... fax (617) 495-0491 Harvard University Library ...........
