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).
A Skim-Read Introduction to Linked Data, a presentation by Yves Raimond and Michael Smethurst of the BBC, is a good introduction to linked data.

FRBR is mentioned on slide 92.
