The Network Development and MARC Standards Office has made available the study, "Displays for Multiple Versions from MARC 21 and FRBR."
It is based on an analysis prepared by Tom Delsey as part of the "Functional Analysis of the MARC 21 Bibliographic and Holdings Formats" study that he developed for the Network Development and MARC Standards Office. NDMSO has added display examples to accompany the study.
The FRBR is part of a movement to understand the structure of bibliographic information and then use that knowledge to develop a systematic description. We should see changes in ISBD, AACR and MARC based on this work.
