But not if you realize that an Expression is just an instance of a Work. Semantically, there is no need to lose information. ________________________________________ Van: Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative Forum [[log in to unmask]] namens J.

Unless the superwork becomes reality (which could also relate a movie to the novel on which it is based, there is no hierachical relation of a translation to the translated work. That is RDA, but not Bibframe. The translation in Bibframe (as I understand Kevin's posts) is its own Bibframe work, like the original. Bibframe has works/instances, not works/expressions/instances. A translation would not be an instance of the original work. __ __ J.
