I think many of the linking fields (including 787) are best used to record manifestation-level relationships. If I were recording a work-level relationship, I'd probably use 730 in this case, with an authorized access point for the work; as you say, at least one of them would need to be qualified because we have two works with the same title (and no creator-I assume?)
730 0 $i Summary of (work): $t Water availability in the Ovens. I always teach that the qualifier chosen should be whatever logically distinguishes the two; in this case "Summary" makes sense to me. 730 0 $i Summary (work): $t Water availability in the Ovens (Summary) On the other hand, if you want to use 787, you could distinguish by including publication information ($d) and physical description ($h) and perhaps ISBN ($x) if they have ISBNs and they are different. This isn't very satisfactory, though, since the publication information is identical on both, and in any case all this is manifestation information, not work information. I guess you can put the authorized access point for the work in 787 $s. I'd go with 730, though. Bob Robert L.

Schiff Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 3:44 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.
