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 expression is representative for a given Work.

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 musical text contained in the manuscript identified by shelfmark ‘MS-8282’ within the collections of the National Library of France, Department for Music, as representative for Stanislas Champein’s opera ‘Vichnou’ (F41) R44 carried out by the National Library of France, identified by code ‘FRBNF’ at the beginning of field 001 in the INTERMARC authority record for Stanislas Champein’s opera ‘Vichnou’ (F44)

Assigning the text embodied in the 1775 edition of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ as the representative expression for Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ (F42) R44 carried out by the bibliographic agency identified, in field 040 of a MARC 21 authority record for Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s textual work entitled ‘St. Patrick’s Day’, by the code ‘DLC’ (i.e., the Library of Congress) (F44)
