Presumably there will be "something" which contains the data transcribed from Instances. While entry points may be linked to, rather than contained in, that data; there is that data. What are we to call it? "Description" (which is what we used to call it) has been used in Bibframe to mean abstract/summary. Those Instance data "somethings". will be linked to "something" which contains the work data. What are we to call thpse work "somethings"? It seems to me "work record" and "instance record" are the best names available, even though the structure of the record differs from MARC. While entry points and such may be linked rather than in the "something", it seems to me that core of transcribed data must have a name. When Utlas had ASNs rather than text in main, added, and subject fields, it was still called a record. __ __ J.
