Karen, The summary of the task group's work at http://olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/archived_docs/MIW_summary.pdf may provide some of the information you are looking for. Matthew -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Karen Coyle Sent: Friday, December 10, 2010 11:04 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Announcing OLAC's prototype FRBR-inspired moving image discovery interface 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? kc Quoting Kelley McGrath <[log in to unmask]>: > OLAC (Online Audiovisual Catalogers) is excited to announce the > availability of our prototype for a FRBR-inspired, work-centric, > faceted discovery interface for moving images at > http://blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com. > > The OLAC Work-Centric Moving Image Discovery Interface Prototype is > an exploration of the possibilities of leveraging the Functional > Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model and faceted > search to improve access to moving image materials held by libraries > and archives. > > This prototype was funded by OLAC.
