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).
Lorcan Dempsey’s FRBR and Learning Objects (FLOR?) points to Pete Johnston’s Learning Materials and FRBR which points to Phil Barker’s LMAP Update which links to the Learning Materials Application Profile draft which says the “proposed object model borrows from the scholarly works application profile (SWAP) application model, which in turn is based on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) entity model.”
