English" One is a translation, one is "abridged and adapted", but this only seems to be defined in the statement of responsibility. I guess what I'm asking is, given these two MARC records http://lccn.loc.gov/74194328/marcxml and http://lccn.loc.gov/97813632/marcxml is there a way, other than performing heuristics on the 245$c (which I'm not counting out, I'm just trying to work with some real-life, chosen completely at random, data and see where we stand), to extract an accurate Expression? -Ross.
