I definitely appreciate that. However, I think a discussion of both why
it wasn't right for Martha, and how well it represents FRBR would be
useful?
Since Martha has issues with some of FRBR, and her cataloguing rules
diverge from it, then an RDF expression of FRBR clearly isn't going to
suit completely. On the otherhand, it doesn't necessarily mean starting
from scratch.
There is already some discussion on the blog about this, but I thought
it was worth exploring on this list as well...

I won't answer for Martha, but there's always the odd chance that
their proposed model ain't what Martha sees as "right"? :) Just sayin'
