Outline and Objectives
• To identify works and expressions
• Through:
– Recording preferred title & variant titles
– Creating authorized access points
– Identifying creators responsible for a work
– Identifying core if needed elements for
works
RDA Module - Works/Expressions

Outline and Objectives
– Identifying elements and core elements of
expressions
– Identifying variant access points for works
and expressions
– Examining RDA Authority Records (briefly)
– Looking at content elements for works and
expressions
RDA Module - Works/Expressions

Brenndorfer’s Step 4
4. Consider the content of the book.
• Record the things that help people identify the content in the book. Use
preferred title [formerly "uniform title"], form of work, date of work, place
of origin (see Ch. 16 to identify places), history of the work, content
type, language of expression, identifiers, etc.
• End with the construction of the authorized access point for the work,
with the other identifying elements going into new or existing MARC
bibliographic or authority fields. Construct variant access points as
required. Construct authorized access points for related works, such as
series, as required.
• NOTE. The authorized access point for a work is often in the form of:
authorized access point for person + preferred title. To construct the
authorized access point for a person, see Ch. 9.
RDA Module - Works/Expressions

MARC bibliographic record &
FRBR: summary
1XX/240 = work/expression
245-260, 490 = manifestation
300 = work, expression, manifestation
5XX = work, expression, manifestation
700-730 = work, expression
760-787 = work, expression, manifestation
8XX = work, expression [& manifestation]
RDA Module - Works/Expressions

Works and expressions
RDA 5.1.2:
• Work refers to a distinct intellectual or artistic
creation (ie. Intellectual or artistic content)
• Expression refers to the intellectual or
artistic realization of a work in the form of
alpha-numeric, musical or choreographic
notation, sound, image, object, movement,
etc., or any combination of such forms.
RDA Module - Works/Expressions

Identifying works & expressions
• Also called “naming the work” and “naming the
expression”
• Same as AACR2 “main entry” if the manifestation
contains that work/expression:
Bib. records:
Auth. records:

Bibliographic or authority data?
• RDA does not prescribe if attributes about
the work/expression and the access points
are to be recorded as bibliographic data or
authority data
• most libraries for some time will name the
work/expression by giving the access
point in the bibliographic record
– May or may not make authority records
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
10
Core elements to distinguish
• If elements are being recorded to distinguish
one work from another or from the name of a
person, family, or corporate body, RDA gives
choices for recording the elements (RDA 0.6.4):
– either as additions to the authorized access point
representing the work -- most libraries
– as separate elements in authority records -sometimes
– as both -- cataloguer’s judgment or NACO policy
even if not breaking conflict
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
11
Language and script
• Title for a work in the language and script in
which it appears in the resource – RDA 5.4
– North America: in authorized and variant access
points: apply the alternative to give a
transliterated form
– For some languages (see LCPS 5.4), can also
give variant access points (MARC 4XX) in original
language/script in authority records
• Other attributes for a work or expression in the
language prescribed by RDA in chapter 6
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
12
Terminology
• Title of the work: “word, character, or group of
words and/or characters by which a work is known”
• Preferred title for the work:
– For current implementations = the form of title used when
constructing the authorized access point
• Variant title for the work:
– For current implementations = the form of title used when
constructing a variant access point (aka “see references”)
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
13
Sources of information
• Sources for preferred title for work (RDA
6.2.2.2):
– For a work created after 1500: from resources
embodying the work or reference sources -looking for the most common form of the title
(process usually results in using the title proper
of the first manifestation received)
– For a work created before 1501: from modern
reference sources
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
14
Sources of information
• If the evidence of modern reference
sources is inconclusive for a work
created before 1501, use (in this order
of preference):
a) modern editions
b) early editions
c) manuscript copies
• All other elements for works and
expressions: any source
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
15
Works: Authorized access points
• RDA 6.27.1-RDA 6.27.1.8: how to put
together the elements to construct an
authorized point [with links back to
specific elements]
– Preferred title is the basis
– Authorized access point for the creator
preceding the preferred title as applicable
– Additions to the preferred title as instructed
under 6.27.1.9 (no priority order)
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
16
Additions to the preferred title
(per RDA 6.27.1.9)
• 6.3: form of work *
• 6.4: date of the work *
• 6.5: place of origin of the work *
and/or
• 6.6: another distinguishing characteristic of
the work *
* = if need to distinguish
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
17
Preferred title for the work
• General instructions for any type of title in
RDA 6.2.1
• Specific instructions for preferred titles in
6.2.2:
–
–
–

–
parts (RDA 6.2.2.9)
compilations (RDA 6.2.2.10)
some musical works (RDA 6.14.2)
some legal works (RDA 6.19.2)
some religious works (RDA 6.23.2)
some official communications (RDA 6.26.2)
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
18
Simultaneous publication:
different titles in same language
• Choose the preferred title based on
title of the resource first received (not
the resource published in the home
country)
U.K. volume received first: Walking in Britain
U.S. volume received later: Day walks in Britain
Preferred title = Walking in Britain
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
19
Simultaneous publication:
different titles/languages
• No longer a priority order of languages
– use title in resource first received
Serial published simultaneously in German and
English versions
German-language version received first
English-language version received later
Preferred title = title from German-language version
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
20
Preferred titles: parts of the
Bible (RDA 6.23.2.9)
• Refer to the Old and New Testaments by
their spelled-out forms (not “O.T.” and
“N.T.”)
• Omit the name of the testament in the
preferred title for individual books or
groups of books

22
Responsible entity related to work
(i.e., Creator)
• RDA 0.6.3 and RDA 6.27.1: when creating
the authorized access point for the work,
precede the preferred title for the work,
if appropriate,
by the authorized access point
representing the person, family, or
corporate body responsible for the
intellectual or artistic content of the work
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
23
Chapter 19: entity responsible
for a work
• Sources (RDA 19.1.1):
– Preferred sources of information (RDA
2.2.2)
– Other statements appearing prominently in
the resource
– Information appearing only in the content
– Other sources
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
24
Creator (RDA 19.2)
• Creator = “person, family, or corporate body
responsible for the creation of a work”
– If more than one, only the creator having principal
responsibility named first in resource is required
– If more than one and principal responsibility not
indicated, only the first-named creator is required
• Change from AACR2: no “rule of three” in
RDA to name the work by its preferred title
when there are more than three creators
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
25
Collaborative works
• For collaborative works, the creators may
perform the same or different roles (RDA 19.2.1)
– Choosing the first-named creator to name the work
may mean that the result is not the same as applying
the AACR2 rule due to the order of names on the
source
– Some exceptions not to use the first-named creator:
moving image resources (named by preferred title);
some resources involving both persons and corporate
bodies; most serials (per LCPS)
RDA Module - Works/Expressions

Exercise #1
• Please refer to “Exercise #1” on your
Exercise Worksheet
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
29
Corporate body as creator
• Categories of works given in RDA 19.2.1.1
(similar to AACR2 21.1B2)
• Includes government and religious officials
for some categories of works
• Corporate body takes precedence over a
first-named person or family as creator
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
30
Compilation of works
• RDA: do not name the compilation by the first
work in the compilation as AACR2 does in
some situations, because doing so
misidentifies the compilation (a work of works)
• Can give authorized access points for each
work/expression
• If no collective title, alternative to devise a title
proper (cataloguer’s judgment)
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
31
Preferred title for compilations of
one person, family, corporate
body
• RDA 6.2.2.10
• Categories:
– Complete works = use “Works”
– Complete works in a single form = use
term chosen by cataloguer
– Other compilations of two or more works in
same form or different forms = give
preferred title for each work but ...
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
32
Alternative: “Other compilations”
• Instead of or in addition to giving the
preferred title for each work, use a
conventional collective title, e.g.,:
– Works. Selections
– Posters. Selections
– Orchestra music. Selections
• For music conventional collective titles, see
RDA 6.14.2.8; for law, see RDA 6.19.2.5

Title of an expression?
• No! -- A separate form of title doesn’t
exist in the FRBR/FRAD models
• Instead (don’t worry!), build the access
point for an expression by adding
identifying attributes to the access point
for the work (RDA 5.5/5.6)

Relationships
• Chapters 19 and 20 cover the relationships
between people, families, and corporate bodies,
and works and expressions. Examples:
– Michelle Duval is the author of The work of childrearing
– Johann Sebastian Bach composed The Goldberg
variations
• RDA includes four appendices for relationships
between various types of entities
– Appendix I covers relationships between a resource
and persons, families, or corporate bodies
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
70
Core Relationships
• In RDA, most relationships between works or
expressions, and persons, families, or
corporate bodies, are not core and are
therefore optional. Exceptions:
– The primary or first-named creator of a resource
– Other person, family, or corporate body
associated with a work, if they’re part of the
authorized access point representing the work
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
71
Relationship Designators
• You may also explicitly designate the
nature of the relationship, e.g.:
– author
– illustrator
– translator
– editor
• Doing this is optional according to
cataloguer judgment
RDA Module - Works/Expressions
72
Relationship Designators:
$e or $4
• Both the $e and $4 subfield are defined
in MARC 21 for recording relationship
designations, so which should you use?
• Either are okay, but LC doesn’t use $4
