Adam I agree with you that Fictitious character from Card isn't an appropriate qualifier. 9.19.1.2 instructs to add the term Fictitious character to names for fictitious characters. There is no instruction to modify this qualifier into a phrase. I don't think Fictitious character from Card is

We have an author whose birth date is known to be between 1310 and 1319. We can record it in the 046 following edtf, but how would people deal with it in an RDA authorized access point? RDA 9.3.1.3 doesn't have an example of between 1310 and 1319, but should this mean we can't do it? It's as

I personally find the expression level extremely useful for distinguishing between, e.g., different translations, different formats, etc. It's not a relationship between works. A translation isn't a different work from the original. A recording of a work isn't a different work from the text.
