Subclass of:

• crm:E13 Attribute Assignment

Scope note:

This class comprises activities through which an Agency declares (implicitly or explicitly) that a given instance of F3 Manifestation Product Type or F4 Manifestation Singleton is representative for a given F2 Expression, i.e., that some features found on that instance of F3 Manifestation Product Type or F4 Manifestation Singleton (most prominently, information about the title) can be inferred to also apply to that instance of F2 Expression, no matter within which manifestation it is embodied.

The reasoning behind 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 proper of a Manifestation that is deemed representative of the Expression representative of the Work.

Examples:

Selecting the 1775 edition of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ as the representative manifestation for the text of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ and citing that publication as the source for the authority record created by the Library of Congress for that work

Selecting the 2007 edition of John Tavener’s musical work entitled ‘The Eternal Sun’ as the representative manifestation for the notation of John Tavener’s musical work entitled ‘The Eternal Sun’ and citing that publication as the source for the authority record created by the National Library of France for that work

Selecting the 1983 edition of Stanley Karnow’s textual work entitled ‘Vietnam, the war nobody won’ as the representative manifestation for a partial expression of the series entitled ‘Headline series’ and citing that publication as the source for the authority record created by the Library of Congress for that series

Selecting the issue dated October 2002 of the periodical entitled ‘The New Courier’ as the representative manifestation for a partial expression of the periodical entitled ‘The New Courier’ and citing that publication as the source for the bibliographic record created by the National Library of France for that periodical

Selecting the manuscript identified by shelfmark ‘MS-8282’ within the collections of the National Library of France, Department for Music, as representative for the notation of Stanislas Champein’s musical work entitled ‘Vichnou’ and citing that manuscript as the source for the authority record created by the National Library of France for that work

Outgoing properties:

• frbroo:R43 carried out by (performed) (0,n:1,1) → frbroo:F44 Bibliographic Agency
• frbroo:R48 assigned to (was assigned by) (0,n:1,1) → frbroo:F2 Expression
• frbroo:R49 assigned (was assigned by) (0,n:0,n) → frbroo:F3 Manifestation Product Type
• frbroo:R53 assigned (was assigned by) (0,n:0,n) → frbroo:F4 Manifestation Singleton
