Quoting Casey A Mullin <cmul...@stanford.edu>:
(I'm ignoring the aggregate w/e here, as it's not useful to identify)
Actually, we might need it.
m1 (novel published with preface)
Title proper: Bend sinister
embodies e1 (novel in English)
realizes w1
Preferred title: Bend sinister
embodies e2 (preface in English)
realizes w2
Preferred title: [Title given or devised title]
This doesn't seem devilish to me at all. Am I missing something?
Casey, What will you display to the user? Assume that display has to
be algorithmic (it's going to be done by dumb machines), so you have
to follow rules for display (e.g. always display work title And
Expression title And Manifestation title... or whatever you think your
rules will be.) Create those rules, and display something like:
1.
Voyna i Mir (Work title)
Title of expression: War and Peace
Manifestation title: War and Peace, by Tolstoy, with an essay by Jane Smith.
date: 2007
includes
2.
Essay by Jane Smith, Those crazy Russians. 1958.
3. (separate case but in the same database)
work title: Tolstoy's War and Peace (a book about the work)
creator: Professor John
Expression title: Tolsoy's War and Peace
Manifestation title: Tolstoy's War and Peace
date: 2008
***
I think you are assuming that the display will be:
Work title:
Expression title:
Manifestation title:
So in the case of the essay in the book, its Work title would
substitute for the Manifestation title. I'm not convinced that's a
valid assumption, but it's worth trying out.
(btw, although YOU might not create an expression title that is the
same as the work title, unless we discover that that is illegal in
FRBR then you cannot assume that someone has not done it.)

Does this clarify what I'm getting at, or are we still talking past
each other? ;)

"Those who need structured and granular data and the precise
retrieval that results from it to carry out research and scholarship
may constitute an elite minority rather than most of the people of
the world (sadly), but that talented and intelligent minority is an
important one for the cultural and technological advancement of
humanity. It is even possible that if we did a better job of
providing access to such data, we might enable the enlargement of
that minority."
