Books: FRBR: A Guide for the Perplexed by Robert Maxwell (ISBN 9780838909508) and Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools edited by Arlene Taylor (ISBN 9781591585091) (read my chapter FRBR and the History of Cataloging).
Gordon Bonnar’s blog entry FRBR and RDF/XML shows how he uses Davis and Newman’s RDF schema for FRBR to describe Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver.
I think this is really interesting. Two people not from the library world put together a draft schema for FRBR in RDF, and weeks later another person is gluing it together with some other things so he can catalogue his home library. This is the start of something good.
