As I understand it, I would say that the whole series (published by
Publisher XYZ in English for example) is a BIBFRAME Instance. The various
volumes would be registred as Holdings. And the series, regardless of any
languages or publishers, would be the Work.

Subject: Re: [BIBFRAME] Conceptuality of Work in Multi-volume Resources
Thanks for the replies (and to the split-off discussion with Reinhold and
Simon)
Minjie, FRBR Document 3.3 is just what I'm talking about, at least in
regards to FRBR. Looking for a
similar solution in BIBFRAME is where I am at the moment.
With regards to the conceptuality level of a 'Work', I understand that
BIBFRAME's has less of a 'sky is
the limit' view than FRBR, which is a good thing in my opinion. Going back
to my One Piece example,
in FRBR the Work level for One Piece could act as an umbrella entity for the
manga, TV series, etc., but
in BIBFRAME this overall conceptual level is not necessarily present, with
connections between
resources being made with relationships instead.
I think the core issue in the manga case is how resource specific should the
BIBFRAME Work level
represent. Perhaps the 'right' answer may depend on an institutions
resources and their cataloguing
practices. If a library is collecting an entire complete manga series and
cataloguing it as such rather
than individual volumes, then I think having the series act as a Work with
each volume being an
Instance is the logical conclusion. BIBFRAME certainly would allow each
volume to be represented as a
Work, with relationships being made between each one, but I don't know if
this is a better solution
(both conceptually and practically with regards to cataloguing practices.)
Thanks,
