Re: WorldCat Works Data

Note that the Works published from WorldCat are defined as instances of schema:CreativeWork.

What you say may well be correct, but the data may not adhere strictly to the FRBR rules and levels.

I say ‘may not’ as we are still working the modelling behind this and a language specific Work may become just an example of a more general Work - there again it may become more Expression-like.  There is a balance to be struck between FRBR rules and a wider, non-library, understanding.

I might be mistaken, but IIRC each translation of a text gets its own ISTC which renders the ISTC language-specific. Since frbr:Works are language-independent and language is part of frbr:Expression, the work _cannot_ contain an ISTC. Correct?
