Folks:
I'm always glad to see where people are taking seriously the admonition
to work through examples, so I'd like to point out an interesting set of
blog posts by Pete Johnston (not a cataloger) from the Educause
Foundation. Pete is one of the developers of the Scholarly Works
Application Profile
<http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/Eprints_Application_Profile>
(formerly known as the ePrints AP), so he's had some experience trying
to apply FRBR in a non-library (at least, non-traditional-library) context.
In his first post, he cites to Martha Yee's article in the
/Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval
Tools/:
http://efoundations.typepad.com/efoundations/2008/05/frbr-time-based.html
In the second post, he works through an interesting example:

Worth a look and perhaps some discussion ...
