In the FRBR model, every single manifestation belongs to _some_ Work, does it not? So I don't understand how those can be alternatives. Or was the proposal to change this? So some manifestations exist "free floating" belonging to no work at all? (By "belonging to" in FRBR terms of art, I mean in the FRBR model, every manifestation is "the embodiment of" SOME expression, which is "the realization of" SOME Work. Whether that expression or work are yet described or not, they're there in the model. Was the proposal really to change this, so some manifestations are by definition "the embodiment of" no expression at all, not even an expression that has yet to have an identifier assigned to it? That seems horribly mistaken to me). I guess I need to find time to read the report.
