I am not at all clear about how to treat abridgements under RDA. Looking at AACR2 21.9, which is the rule dealing with headings for abridgements, I am directed to RDA 6.27.1.5, which is for adaptations and revisions. The rule in RDA essentially follows that in AACR2, but abridgements are not specifically mentioned. As I read the rule, I would still enter an abridgement under the heading for the original expression, but I would like some confirmation of this. I had not noticed in discussions I have seen that the rules for abridgement had significantly changed.
