Subproperty of:

• crm:E7 Activity → crm:P14 carried out by (performed) → crm:E39 Actor

Scope note:

This property associates a bibliographic agency (represented by one or more of its cataloguers) and the assigning of which Manifestation (i.e., which instance of F3 Manifestation Product Type or F4 Manifestation Singleton) is representative for a given expression.

In cataloguing practice, such a relationship is usually just implicit. However, it can become explicit, for example when a bibliographic agency creates an authority record for a given work and fills the “Source” field with information about the publication that contains the expression that was used by the bibliographic agency to establish the controlled access point for the work realised in that expression.

Examples:

Assigning the manuscript identified by shelfmark ‘MS-8282’ within the collections of the National Library of France, Department for Music, as representative for the musical text of Stanislas Champein’s opera ‘Vichnou’ (F41) R43 carried out by the National Library of France (F44), identified by code ‘FRBNF’ at the beginning of field 001 in the INTERMARC authority record created for Stanislas Champein’s opera ‘Vichnou’

Assigning the 1775 edition of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ (F41), mentioned in the ‘Encyclopaedia Britannica’, 15^th edition, R43 carried out by the Library of Congress (F44), identified by code ‘DLC’ in field 040 of the MARC 21 authority record created for Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’

In First Order Logic:

• R43(x,y) ⇒ F41(x)
• R43(x,y) ⇒ F44(y)
• R43(x,y) ⇒ P14(x,y)
