Abstract

This paper proposes the creation of a version of the FRBR objects Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item (WEMI) with minimal semantic commitment. Evidence already exists for uses of WEMI in metadata communities beyond libraries. These uses are hindered, however, by specific constraints in the original design. openWEMI would provide the flexibility needed for these and more varied uses.
