Kelley,
do you have somewhere documentation on which properties/attributes are
associated with each FRBR entity? I ask this in part out of my
ignorance of moving image cataloging, and therefore I am having
trouble translating from the FRBR documentation to what appears in
your prototype. I did my usual search on "seven samurai" and the
display (which I assume represents the Work) reads (in part):
Alternate Title:
Seven Samurai
Director:
Kurosawa, Akira, 1910-1998
Genres:
Feature; Fiction; Drama;
Language:
Japanese
Country:
Japan
Original Aspect:
Full screen ( 1.37:1 )
Run Time:
206
Color:
B&W
Sound:
Sound
I'm curious as to which are Work attributes and which are Expression
attributes. Also, is there an example that shows one work and multiple
expressions?

> This prototype was funded by OLAC. Chris Fitzpatrick developed the

> In this demonstration interface we present the user with a two-level
> view inspired by the FRBR model. The top level, labeled Movie or
> Program, provides information about the FRBR Work and what we are
> calling the Primary Expression, usually the first publicly-released
> Expression. Facets for the Work/Primary Expression level are
> displayed across the top of the screen and the records found in the
> hit list contain information about the Work and Primary Expression.
> The second level, labeled Version, includes information about
> Expressions (language options), Manifestations (format and
> publication date), and in a very basic way about Items (what
> libraries or archives hold a particular Manifestation). Facets for
> the Version level are displayed separately on the side of the screen
> and information about the particular Versions that meet the user’s
> qualifications are displayed below each Work/Primary Expression.
