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).
Alexander Sigel dropped me some mail (which is always welcome) to point out something he’d put together when looking into topic maps and XTM: FRBR and XTM. Have a look, especially if you’re interested in RDF.
He suggested that perhaps FRBR had been discussed at TMRA 2005: International Workshop on Topic Map Research and Applications, but I didn’t see anything. If you know of something relevant, please let me know.
