1. While Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (Munich: K. G. Saur, 1998) defines many different entities, including person, corporate body, and concept, the focus in FRBRization has been on FRBR entities work, expression, and manifestation. Thus, FRBRization could be defined as the attempt to get OPAC software to better support the indexing and display of works and their expressions/manifestations. VTLS, Inc.

12. Unfortunately, the archives and manuscripts people have managed to get an authority record into the national file for Clemens, Samuel Langhorne, 1835-1910 (n93099439 $z n88274847), apparently on the grounds that he signed his letters that way; in my opinion, this goes against the intent of the concept of separate bibliographic identities in AACR2R. In fact, I'll go beyond that to argue that one of Seymour Lubetzky's few mistakes may have been to argue for the concept of separate bibliographic identities, given the fact that most OPACs encourage users to do keyword searches that do not search authority records. It has the effect of fragmenting one of the most important entities users have available for identifying the works they seek - the author entity.

17. (a) MARC 21100 field in both authority and bibliographic records;
18. (b) 700 field in bibliographic records;
19. (c) 600 field in bibliographic records, all containing Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616.
20. Note that in this author search, prior to the selection of this author heading, all 400 and 500 fields from the authority record for the author (here, Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616) should also display as search under and search also under references.
21. (a) MARC 21 $t subfield in authority record that begins with Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616;
22. (b) 240 field in bibliographic record with a 100 for Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616;
23. 245 field $a in bibliographic record with a 100 for Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616;
24. 600 $t subfield that begins with Shake-speare, William, 1564-1616;
25. (e) 700 $t subfield that begins with Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616; all containing Macbeth. Note that 400 and 500 fields from the work authority record for Macbeth as should also appear in the display under Shakespeare as search also or search also under references.
26. Include here all bibliographic records with the work identifier for Macbeth (100 plus 240 or 100 plus 245), as well as added entries for the work with second indicator 2 (MARC 21 format), indicating that they are contained in the work cataloged.
27. In the MARC 21 format, added entries for the work (700 subfield t) with second indicator blank.
28. In the MARC 21 format, 600/610/611 fields with subfield t, or 630, contain subject added entries for the work.
29. It is also possible that a change in the MARC 21 format to specifically identify related work added entries as performance added entries could lead to online catalog displays that might prevent undue confusion for users. Currently, the second indicator of an added entry for a work can be set to 2 when the work is actually contained within the work cataloged, and an added entry for a work is contained in a 7XX field. If the same second indicator were given another value for performance, it would potentially allow for the following types of display of Macbeth, as well.
30. Include here all bibliographic records with the work identifier for Macbeth (100 plus 240 or 100 plus 245), as well as added entries for the work (700 with subfield t) with second indicator 2 (MARC 21 format), indicating that they are contained in the work cataloged.
31. Bibliographic records with 100 plus 240, or 100 plus 245, or 700 12 of Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Macbeth (including any subsequent subfields) and with leader byte 6 code j.
32. Bibliographic records with 100 plus 240, or 100 plus 245, or 700 (any indicators) of Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Macbeth, and with leader byte 6 code g for moving image performances.
33. In the MARC 21 format, added entries for the work (700 with subfield t) with second indicator blank.
34. In the MARC 21 format, 600/610/611 fields with subfield t, or 630 fields, contain subject added entries for the work.
35. (a) MARC 21100 field in both authority and bibliographic records;
36. b) 700 field in bibliographic records;
37. c) 600 field in bibliographic records, all containing Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, 1756-1791.
38. Note that in this author search, prior to the selection of this author heading, all 400 and 500 fields from the authority record for the author (here, Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, 1756-1791) should also display as search under and search also under references.
39. This rather curious reference and the following one are the result of referring from the title of a particular performance (a title associated with a particular expression rather than with the work as a whole) to the title of the work as a whole. Perhaps this practice could stand some critical examination?
