Things like this:

@inbook{Heidegger1954,
	crossref = {Heidegger1993book},
	Title = {The question concerning technology},
	OriginalYear = {1954},
	Pages = {311--341} }

@inbook{Heidegger1972,
	crossref = {Heidegger1993book},
	Title = {Being and Time},
	OriginalYear = {1972},
	Pages = {41--87} }

@book{Heidegger1993book,
  	Author = {Martin Heidegger},
	Title = {Basic Writings},
	BookTitle = {Basic Writings},
	Editor = {David Farrell Krell},
	Year = {1993},
	Publisher = {Harper Collins},
	Address = {San Francisco} }
