The concept of guide cards to identify expressions in catalog displays is described in Library of Congress, Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Displays for Multiple Versions from MARC21 and FRBR (Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, 2003).

29. Translations were treated first to maximize compatibility with existing headings that already include language under AACR2 Rules 25.5C and 25.5D.
30. The FRBR model considers some of these identifying elements as attributes of the expression, while others (persons or corporate bodies) represent Group 2 entities that have a relationship to the expression. See IFLA Study Group on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, 23-25; 35-40.

32. Responses from Italy regarding the FRBR model express a related concern about the leveling out of different types of expressions. Three types of expressions are defined, each determined by how closely a particular expression is related to the original expression: from revisions and so on of the original, to "expressions of expressions."
