This example is a good one to talk about the difficulties of using "same as" with Manifestations. FRBR had/has (?) a working group on aggregates [1] that talks about the differences in Manifestations based on differences in added content. Different publications of P&P will not be exact copies because they will have, for example, different prefaces by experts. (BTW, publishers do this in part because it allows them to copyright that portion of an otherwise public domain work.) The Manifestations therefore have significant differences from a FRBR point of view (although there is still debate about how some kinds of differences should be handled). BTW, the International Standard Text Code[2] is designed in part for this situation - assuming that the P&P text is the same, you could assign the same ISTC to these Manifestations. I think that ends up being the same as saying that these are the same Expression. kc [1] http://www.ifla.org/en/events/frbr-working-group-on-aggregates [2] http://www.istc-international.org/html/ -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
