Representative Expression Assignment

RepresentativeExpressionAssignment

 

This class comprises activities through which an Agency declares (implicitly or explicitly) that a given instance of F2 Expression is representative for a given F15 Complex Work, i.e., that some attributes of that instance of F2 Expression (most prominently, information about the title) can be inferred to also apply to that instance of F15 Complex Work, no matter in which particular expression it is realised.

This class comprises activities through which an Agency declares (implicitly or explicitly) that a given instance of F2 Expression is representative for a given F15 Complex Work, i.e., that some attributes of that instance of F2 Expression (most prominently, information about the title) can be inferred to also apply to that instance of F15 Complex Work, no matter in which particular expression it is realised. The reasoning behind this is that the Work title is known through the title of an Expression that is deemed representative of the Work, and the title of the representative Expression is known through the title of a Manifestation that is deemed representative of the Expression that is representative of the Work. For instance, by using the qualified uniform title "Poe, Edgar Allan, 1809-1849. Murders in the rue Morgue (French)" for the French rendition of Poe's "Murders in the rue Morgue" by Baudelaire, an Agency implicitly states that the French text does not constitute a representative F2 Expression for Poe's F1 Work, however the original English text does constitute a representative F2 Expression for Poe's F1 Work.
