In Which A Book Lexicon is Born

[omg.jacky.wtf]

@lkanies

The data you need to store about a book is quite different from the data you need to store about wine. But both need a method for building a publicly maintained list that will increase in depth and quality over time and provides objective reference capabilities.

I think the point that In Which A Book Lexicon is Born - #12 by tynanpurdy.com made here can be used to handle this (by pointing to not only progress but to the ref of what’s being reviewed, it - the referenced item - can have all of the identifiers needed to identify it across things - Yelp, etc) to make it more rich.

I also want to suggest folks to move conversation about book reviews to this thread: Handling Reviews for the Book Lexicon and keep this thread about how we’ll define either the generic form/interface of a book lexicon (something each app extends in some faithful way or uses under the community.lexicon.book umbrella).
