R40 has representative expression (is representative expression for)

Quantification:

0,n:0,n

Scope note:

This property identifies an instance of F22 Self-Contained Expression that has been chosen as the most characteristic expression of the instance of F1 Work of which it is an expression. There is no other semantic implication to this notion of being characteristic than to be an adequate candidate to uniquely identify the Work realized by it. Prototypically, this is the instance of F22 Self-Contained Expression that is deemed characteristic of an instance of F15 Complex Work.

Typically, any expression that is not regarded as “representative” for the work it expresses, would require a controlled access point, with qualifiers specifying the differences between that expression and a representative expression, although this may not always be done in practice. The title of a Work may not be one taken from a representative expression.

A given work can have more than one representative expression, provided the differences between these expressions are not deemed “substantial.” If the anticipated needs of users are not considered to call for bibliographic distinctions between variant expressions of a work, then even expressions that differ significantly from each other can be regarded as equally representative for the work. (See FRBR: Final Report, p. 19-20).

A given expression can be deemed representative for a work with regard to some of its aspects (e.g., the text contained in an edition the title proper of which reads ‘The tragicall historie of HAMLET Prince of Denmarke’, and the language of that text), and not representative for it with regard to some other aspects (e.g., the title proper ‘The tragicall historie of HAMLET Prince of Denmarke’ itself, which, being different from the title that is regarded as “representative” for Shakespeare’s work, will require the use of a controlled access point).

R40 has representative expression is a shortcut of the more developed path F1 Work R50i was assigned by F42 Representative Expression Assignment R51 assigned F2 Expression.

Examples:

Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ (F15) R40 has representative expression the linguistic content of the 1775 edition of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’, mentioned in the ‘Encyclopaedia Britannica’, 15th edition, cited as the source for the authority record created for that work by the Library of Congress (F22)

John Tavener’s musical work entitled ‘The Eternal Sun’ (F15) R40 has representative expression the notational content embodied in the 2007 edition of John Tavener’s ‘The Eternal Sun’ cited as the source for the authority record created for that work by the National Library of France (F22)

The series entitled ‘Headline series’ (F18) R40 has representative expression the overall content of the publication entitled ‘Vietnam, the war nobody won’ by S. Karnow, which belongs to the series entitled ‘Headline series’ and was used by the Library of Congress as the basis for creating the authority record for that series (F24)

The periodical entitled ‘The New Courier’, released by UNESCO, and described by the National Library of France in a bibliographic record that contains the following statement: ‘Notice réd. d’après le n° d’octobre 2002’ (i.e., ‘description based on the issue dated October 2002’) (F18) R40 has representative expression the overall content of the October 2002 issue of UNESCO’s periodical entitled ‘The New Courier’ (F24)

In First Order Logic:

  • R40(x,y) ⇒ F1(x)
  • R40(x,y) ⇒ F22(y)
  • R40(x,y) ⇒ R3(x,y)
