Start Conversation: - Anthologies, Collections & Editors

Firstly if there is another thread here somewhere discussing this topic please let me know and I'll go have a read through.

I'd like to start a conversation here regarding users thoughts on ways we could implement the requirements of metadata for Anthologies and multi-author works. I was going to just jump in and start coding but think I'd rather talk this through first and see if some kind of consensus can be reached

Note: More than just having the multi-authors listed and ampersand separated.

I am looking for thoughts regarding the following:

A method of flagging the Author as an Editor
A way of having multiple authors and the title of each work within the volume credited to each author.
Also be able to use the system with single author collections (short story collection/ essays etc) within a single volume.

I’m not going to say much else now, I’d like to hear if there is an interest out there for this sort of thing. For example, being able to list all of an author's works, including the titles of short works contained inside anthologies or collections, being able to find the title of a book from a search of its containing works.

So, let me know your thoughts.
