Model complex objects like books, newspapers, and generic "compound" objects

Title (Goal)	Model complex objects
Primary Actor	Repository Admin
Scope	Islandora Site Architecture
Level	Medium?
Story	As a repository admin, I want to create books, newspapers, newspaper issues, and arbitrarily structured "compound" objects like we have in Islandora 7.x. But I want to leverage CLAW's neat content modeling and Context plumbing, instead of having to rely on 7.x content models expressed in Drupal modules. I'm lazy and also don't want to have to reinvent the wheel for my local repo, it would be awesome if I could rely on "standard" or at least shared ways of assembling complex Islandora objects. I've heard that PCDM may be helpful here ('cause it's a Data Model) but I am not sure.

Digging around w/r/t page ordering for items with pages and came across the Collections Ontology.

Which (I'm not sure when) was located at http://purl.org/co/, but has since been re-located several times.

Here is a paper on it. http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/system/files/swj432.pdf

Here is an ordered list example. https://github.com/collections-ontology/collections-ontology/blob/master/examples/persons-list-1.ttl

Might be helpful.
