Eric,

Yes, broadly similar to HubMed.
[Though the previous discussion on this list about authors is still
unresolved from my point of view, so not quite sure yet what we'll do
on that front.

I agree that there seem to be various curious omissions/decisions in
the PRISM ontology (though I'm no expert, to put it mildly, on
PRISM or on the technicalities of RDF ontologies)

i.e. as you say, there appears to be no way to express in PRISM what
class an item belongs to , only ways to express its bibliographic
properties.
So you forced to use another ontology to say what it 'is'. Eric seems
to have used the BibTeX ontology, whereas our working model had been
to kind of opt out of the issue by simply using an rss <item>. I'll
raise that question with people who know more about PRISM.

Matt
