Just as another example of what i'm on about with this construct
m'larkey: Imagine the library has two copies of "harry potter and the
deathly hallows". Are they the same book?
- If your construct is the one that uses the barcode on the sleeve as
an identifier, then no, different books.
- If your construct is the one that uses the ISBN number as an
identifier, then yes, same book.
There's no correct answer, and which you pick just depends on the
application. A Loans database could use Barcodes; A library listings
database could use ISBN.
