Quoting "Tillett, Barbara" : Quick note to mention that the manifestation to work bit can be handled with a placefolder at the expression level. Yes, but what is the relationship? "to" isn't a valid relationship. As I read both FRBR and RDA, the whole/part has to be between Manifestations

Quick note to mention that the manifestation to work bit can be handled with a placefolder at the expression level. Of course there will always actually be an expression, but a cataloger may choose not to identify it for local reasons, and if someone needs it later, it can be added. This has b

I think "embodies" and "expresses" mean the same thing here. One term is taken from FRBR and the other from RDA. Karen's right that the three expressions are "equal" in this example, in that there is no whole/part relationship that binds them, at least in strict FRBR. Rather, they are bound by

Hello, First, to respond to Karen's more recent posting: ""Pure" aggregates (a book of essays, e.g.) are also somewhat easy, or at least they were: the record is for the book as a whole, and, if possible, a table of contents note is created. Where that model "fails" is that is often isn't eas
