The ties to FRBR entities and things like Publication Statements (as an 
aggregation of Place, Publisher and Date) in the property definitions 
that the JSC specified is also not a plus for most of the Semantic Web

The link I have isn't necessarily the appropriate public link, so I've 
asked the NISO folks for one that is more generalized--I'll send it out 
when I get it.  We're also doing an article which should have all that

slides once the article is done.
