	Subject: [DCRM-L] Introduction: question re: FRBR terms
	
	
	The Introduction speaks of users' ability to "distinguish
clearly among different manifestations of an expression or work" (see
Intro 3.1.1. and following paragraph, and 3.2.2.). I'm not exactly sure
what we are trying to say here, or how we mean this to be interpreted.
In common parlance we often speak of a manifestation of a work with the
expression implied, but is it not physically impossible to have
manifestation of a work, without the expression, as the sentence
suggests? What would be the difference between a manifestation of an
expression vs. the manifestation of a work? Should the phrase be changed
to "Users are able to distinguish clearly among different manifestations
of an expression of a work"?
	
	Apologies if this has already been discussed.

		Dear Colleagues,

		I have just posted the latest version of DCRM(B) on the
DCRM(B) revision page. Also posted are a (very informal!) list of the
changes since the last version, our editorial checklist, and
instructions for proofreaders.

		Speaking of whom, if, after returning from your summer
holidays, you have only just seen my request for proofreaders for
DCRM(B), please know that it is not too late to sign on! We can use as
many pairs of eyes as are volunteered. 

		Specific proofreading assignments forthcoming (but not
tonight).

		Best,

		Deborah
