Libraries lend cake pans:
 * http://northhavenlibrary.net/children/cake-pans-2/
 * http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/06/library-services/let-them-lend-cake-pans/#_

OCLC is the FIFA of libraries

Principles:


 * Minimum Useful Differentiation - Catalog items need the minimum amount of markup to differentiate them from other items in the collection
 * ie. Author+title, ISBN, Barcode, whatever
 * The user should only add as much information as is usefuil to them
 * The more descrtiptor markup an item has the more cannonical it is
 * markup includes facts, categories "hashtag" includes interpretation
