I'd add the following information, but I'm not sure if this should be stored
in ReleaseDate or in linked pages:
- The copyright date is currently not stored anywhere in MB. (users may

tell them to stop looking :-) )
- The performance date should be stored in a Performance AR (with link to
PerformanceRelationshipClass)
