Tami’s comment below raises two points.
1) In the implementation of FRBR we had to use “super works” to link works together. I wonder if this will also be necessary in BibFrame to link related works together. At present the only objects that allows different works to be “linked” together are authorities (subjects and creators). So do we treat “super works” as a different type of authority?
2) Based on the BibFrame mappings that I have seen, it appears to me that the “instance” in BibFrame covers both the “expression” and “manifestation” aspects of FRBR. Is this correct?
Thanks. Vinod.

Subject: [BIBFRAME] Basic question about Work
Hi,
Does the BIBFRAME ’work’ include different expressions (as in FRBR) – for example different translations? I think not as I would expect a translation to be considered a different “conceptual essence” (albeit a related one) but I haven’t been able to find this stated explicitly. If I have understood this correctly will it be possible to express links between works – e.g different translations?
Thanks
Tami
