Within the bibliographic and other domains, the index is identifier and ISBN
and ISSN are just examples of identifiers.  Within the authority domain,
ISSN is an attribute of Uniform title, i.e. for a title series.  ISBN would
be invalid in this context.  I'm not sure why in this domain there is not
identifier rather than the more specific ISSN but perhaps if Larry is
listening, he can explain.

Haven't yet had a chance to have a good look.  Thanks for this Mike,

Hi People,

I'd like to announce the first public draft of a Bath Profile for
SRW.  It's available at
