Thanks, Mikael! Wow, pictures really are worth a good number of words. So the segment of the scenario we are talking about reads: # the 2 DVD (manifestation) is a part of the manifestation of the Ford at Fox Collection ... ? ex:A frbr:realization [ frbr:embodiment [ frbr:part ex:P ] ; ] . This is a statement about a series -- that the manifestation belongs to a named series. I'm not sure this works, but I AM sure that the treatment of series is rather odd, both in AACR and RDA. I will create a simple scenario with a series that hopefully will make it easier to see these relationships. As I said, this scenario is waaaaay over my head. kc On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 1:33 AM, Mikael Nilsson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > mån 2008-12-01 klockan 19:50 -0800 skrev Karen Coyle: >> >> ex:A frbr:realization [ frbr:embodiment [ frbr:part ex:P ] ; ] . > > > This means the three relations > > ex:A frbr:realization _:x > > _:x frbr:embodiment _:y > > _:y frbr:part ex:P > > > where _:x and _:y are resources that have not been given an identifier > (blank nodes in RDF terms).
