We have discussed generating multiple Instances for multipart monographs on another issue (sorry I can't locate it now), but I want to show an example where it does not make sense to us.
We have a 12 volume set:
020 |a 9787549554188 (v. 1) 020 |a 7549554188 (v. 1) ... 020 |a 9787549518395 (v. 12) 020 |a 7549518394 (v. 12) ... 100 1_ |a Yu, Yingshi, |e author. 240 10 |a Works. |k Selections. |f 2014 245 10 |a Yu Yingshi wen ji / |c Yu Yingshi zhu ; Shen Zhijia bian. 250 |3 Volume 1-10: |a Di 2 ban. 250 |3 Volume 11-12: |a Di 1 ban. 264 _1 |a Guilin Shi : |b Guangxi shi fan da xue chu ban she, |c 2014- 300 _ |a volumes ; |c 22 cm ... 505 1 |a Di 1 juan.

Wen hua ping lun yu Zhongguo qing huai (shang, xia). -- Di 9 juan. Li shi ren wu kao bian -- Di 10 juan. Song Ming li xue yu zheng zhi wen hua -- Di 11 juan. Lun xue hui you -- Di 12 juan. Guo xue yu Zhongguo ren wen ...
It generates 12 Instances (instance21 through instance32). Each of them is identical except for ISBNs and an ISBN qualifier as part of bf:title.
Here is the first one:
When we look at this instance, we see a description of the set rather than volume 1. The contents note is the contents of the set, not volume 1. The edition statement is for the set. This instance, which is supposed to be volume 1, would be part of the work, not an instance of it. The instance title is the title of the set, not volume 1. The provider statement is the publication information of the set, not just volume 1 (i.e. not a single year date but a range). The responsibility statement is for the set. The OCLC number is the number of the set. titleStatement is for the set.
In other words, as a description of volume 1, this instance fails. The other eleven instances also fail as descriptions of their respective volumes.
To us, this example seriously calls into question the approach of creating item (volume) level descriptions from MARC records. MARC cataloging is at the manifestation level and should be converted that way.
