2.1.1 The edition statement consists of a term, phrase or group of characters relating to:
A. all the copies of an item formally identified as constituting a named and/or numbered
edition,
or
B. all the copies of an item in a particular form of presentation having significant differences,
in intellectual or artistic content, from other copies in the same form of presentation,
whether or not the item bears any formal statement to this effect. Note however that only
different fixings of the same take(s) can constitute a new edition of a sound recording.
The edition statement normally includes either the word "edition" (or its equivalent in another language), or
a related term such as "version" or "state" (for prints), together with an ordinal number ("2nd edition", etc.),
or a term indicating difference from other editions ("new edition", "revised edition", "fourth state", "May
1970 script", etc.).
