<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">I partially agree with your suggestion, Allison (the big picture bit); but linking to OCLC for edition (Manifestation) descriptions would be less than ideal (see
my previous message).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

library data on the web, then RBMS should work to develop the schema it needs within the BIBFRAME framework. Although the current BIBFRAME model represents copy-specific descriptions as Annotations, it’s my impression that they are reconsidering this decision;
that is, they may revise the model to recognize Items (/Holdings) as a proper resource. See:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">Yes, we should definitely push for a schema (in BIBFRAME, or elsewhere if need be) with data elements that precisely match the copy-specific information our community
uses. I’d be happy to contribute to such work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The IR thread has surfaced a well-known problem: that rare materials users need better access to detailed and copy-specific information -- and they need it from an aggregated, Web-based portal, not through everybody's individual catalogs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">RBMS should develop a schema for the copy-specific and detailed information that rare materials libraries aim to capture. Descriptions in this new format could be linked to BIBFRAME resources as an Annotation, and linked to OCLC records
for the appropriate edition. <o:p></o:p></p>
