These can be: Just a brief (and unfortunately not very helpful) pointer to the documents of the FRBR Task Group on Aggregates, which, in my opinion, thoroughly failed to develop a viable solution to the issue of packages containing multiple works: http://www.ifla.org/events/frbr-working-group-on-aggregates Also, Heildrun Weisenmuller has made some interesting comments in this area: http://www.mendeley.com/profiles/heidrun-wiesenmuller/ (see "Working Paper" and diagrams).
