I know, Adam, that you are really asking an RDA related question. But we have had such records merged before in OCLC. In those cases, in addition to other fields there might be in the record to distinguish the two works, OCLC has advised us to bracket an edition statement in the 250.

Schiff [asch...@u.washington.edu] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 5:44 PM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: [RDA-L] Naming works question I have two publications with the same title proper, one of which is a summary of the other: 245 00 Water availability in the Ovens : $b a report to the Australian Government from the CSIRO Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project. 264 #1 [Clayton South, Victoria] : $b CSIRO, $c [2008] 300 ## iii, 100 pages : $b color illustrations, color maps ; $c 30 cm. 245 00 Water availability in the Ovens : $b summary of a report to the Australian Government from the CSIRO Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project. 264 #1 [Clayton South, Victoria] : $b CSIRO, $c [2008] 300 ## 11 pages : $b color illustrations, color maps ; $c 30 cm The question that I have is how best to distinguish between the source work and the derivative work. On the record for the summary I could add the following: 787 08 $i Summary of (work): $t Water availability in the Ovens but since the title is identical, this must have a qualifier of some sort, yes? If so what would make a reasonable qualifier? The reciprocal relationship would be: 787 08 $i Summary (work): $t Water availability in the Ovens Again, I think I need to break the conflict here by adding a qualifier. I thought perhaps of using "(Summary)" but I've not seen this done in any other situation. Just wondering what advice you might have about this sort of situation.
