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
