This is a bit experimental, but I have created two livescribe (livescribe.com) audio-visual bits attempting to diagram and explain the expression/manifestation issue that we have been discussing. I apologize for the crudeness of the presentations. You can view them here:

Great drawings! You have a question in the first segment about recording contents in an RDA context. This came up during the review of the drafts, and I think the answer lies in Chapter 25 on related works/relationships between works. Formally, placement there does conform to the FRBR model,

I think that FRBR-oo, with its focus on the messy reality of the creation and production processes, does a much better job of modeling this sort of thing. While it is obviously complex, and seems pedantic within any given context, I think that in the broader context of the web, with its

Seems like in general whether you have to create a new 'entity' for something should depend on whether it serves your needs to do so. I see this an answer to the 'aggregation' question too. There's a new edition with the same 'main text', but a new 'preface'. Under my interpretation of

For that example above, I can imagine that an initial cataloger ignores the new prefatory material and considers it a manifestation of an existing expression. Later, someone else comes along with the same book in hand, and they find this established record in the great cooperative cataloging

Adding more detail and granularity should be ignorable by our software systems. Our systems can't magically add information where none was before, but should be able to eliminate information that is more than the user community needs. So if those changes to add information are recorded in a

We just had a discussion about 'role designators' for 'related works' in a 700, on this list I think? There's no way to input such a thing in current MARC. But (in response to RDA?) MARBI is adding subfields to 700 for expressing the nature of the relationship. I recall in the previous
