I was going to ask something about this... I'm curious about
"reciprocality" of relationships. If we say: B is the embodiment of A,
and we have work A and expression B, what is the direction of
"embodiment" and does it imply that if B is the embodiment of A, then
A is embodied by B? Are there any possible relationships that aren't
reciprocal?
Also, say you have two expressions but no defined work. You know they
are the embodiment of something. How do you handle that? (I'm
intending to add a cataloger scenario for this one.)
In addition, what if you have a situation where you have an A whose
FRBR group1 entity is undefined (let's say that the metadata has been
created by someone who does not adhere to FRBR). Can you say that B is
the embodiment of A if A isn't defined as a work?
