OpenFRBR and Azkaban test

OpenFRBR’s showing a bunch of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban stuff now. I got ISBNs from thingISBN and xISBN, got MARC records (found them for about half of the ISBNs), processed it with the new version of the LC FRBRization tool (temporary location) that Jodi Schneider found out about, cleaned up some MARC records with bad 240/243/245 fields, and loaded it up into OpenFRBR. I’ll post some thoughts about all this later. I’m getting a better idea of what’s involved.
