 +===== Introduction ===== 
 + 
 +VuFind®'s Record Versions feature is designed to group together records that represent versions of the same work (e.g. editions of a textbook, translations of a novel) without performing a full deduplication. This makes related records more easily findable with less risk of user confusion or incorrect merging than a full "deduplication" approach, though it also results in greater potential redundancy in search results. Note that a separate [[indexing:deduplication|deduplication solution]] is available for users who want it.

 It is an intentional choice to not introduce FRBR specific language in the user interface. The primary reason for this is that it can be a complicated model for a non-librarian to understand and even more complex to actually handle in the UI and between diverse data sources. This means that in practice, and depending on what the index actually contains, versions can include both FRBR expressions and manifestations. It is an intentional choice to not introduce FRBR specific language in the user interface.
