But as many (most, all?) National Libraries in their function of operators
of authority files have already decided long ago to implement the FRBR levels
"Work" and "Expression" by means of "authority records" this repository is
already building up /within/ VIAF... Additionally OCLC is performing its own
experiments of "FRBRizing WorldCat" (<
http://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing/2014/04/frbrizing-worldcat.html >) and
results of this (IIRC mostly in form
of records for expressions) serve as input to VIAF in form of their "xR"
dataset.
So currently missing are bibframe elements (elements in the bibframe namespace
as well as statements typically deemed essential for bibframe works) in the RDF
"record views" of work or expression records like
https://viaf.org/viaf/249553408/rdf.xml
But the entities are already there.

The record could contain two titles, one a uniform title constructed out of the work title of the original, and another one that is the title of the translation. For instance, a Japanese translation of John Steinbeck's Of mice and men:
> Uniform title: Of mice and men. Japanese
> Translation title: Hatsuka nezumi to ningen

The function of a uniform title is as an "access point", just like "Steinbeck, John, 1902-1968" is the access point for the author (a bf:Person). If they serve the same function, shouldn't they have the same properties?

Then there will also be the need to merge in subjects, etc., etc. We look forward to investigating this and using the results in the pilot. Some of the questions we are trying to answer with this pilot include how well do they convert and are they usable as the base file after conversion. New input, directly into BIBFRAME is easier to deal with as there these are born as works. While new input is the focus of the pilot, we consider the base file an important component of the whole.
