Thanks for the pointer. I'm a little confused by quite what's being
aimed for with the datatype here.

Are they planning to use it to represent Wikipedia articles (which are
almost all on a work level, sometimes on an item level - eg
manuscripts, but very rarely an edition level), or to represent
"sources" in citations (usually a specific edition rather than a work
or an item)?
