This reminds me what small libraries say to us when they ask us to
remove uniform titles in the original language of the work. They say
they do not have the work in the original language, and the uniform
title confuses their patrons. They prefer it in 730 for access.
It seems to me AACR2/RDA/MARC21 and Bibframe as being so far discussed
are based on cataloguing into the bibliographic universe, as opposed
to individual catalogues with their differing user needs.
If linked data happens, I wonder how this would affect library needs,
e.g., having "(Fictional character)" consistently applied, avoiding
uniform titles not found on the item apart from Shakespeare and
classical music?
Should alternatives for small collections be explicitly stated?
