2.7. FRBR Property Declaration

The properties of FRBR_OO are comprehensively declared in this section using the following format:

• 
  Property names are presented as headings in bold face, preceded by unique property identifiers;
  
• 
  The line “Domain:” declares the class for which the property is defined;
  
• 
  The line “Range:” declares the class to which the property points, or that provides the values for the property;
  
• 
  The line “Equal to:” declares the CIDOC CRM property that covers the same concept as the FRBR_OO property;
  
• 
  The line “Is covered by shortcut:” declares the CIDOC CRM property that constitutes a shortcut for a more detailed path of which the FRBR_OO property is a part;
  
• 
  The line “Superproperty of:” is a cross-reference to any subproperties the property may have;
  
• 
  The line “Subproperty of:” is a cross-reference to any superproperties the property may have, in either CIDOC CRM or FRBR_OO. All FRBR_OO properties that fall under the scope of the CIDOC CRM are, either directly or indirectly, subproperties of at least one CIDOC CRM property. However, this line remains empty for FRBR_OO properties that are shortcuts of more developed paths that involve CIDOC CRM properties and/or their FRBR_OO subproperties;
  
• 
  The line “Quantification:” declares the possible number of occurrences for domain and range class instances for the property. Possible values are enumerated in section 2.3;
  
• 
  The line “Scope note:” contains the textual definition of the concept the property represents;
  
• 
  The line “Examples:” contains a bulleted list of examples of instances of this property. If the example is also instance of a subproperty of this property, the unique identifier of the subclass is added in parenthesis. If the example instantiates two properties, the unique identifiers of both properties is added in parenthesis;
  
• 
  The line “Properties:” introduces any properties the property may have.
  
• 
  In some cases the superproperty of a property is listed as Out of scope. This indicates that the property that should be the superproperty is outside of the coverage of CIDOC CRM.
  

R1 is logical successor of (has successor)

Domain: F1 Work

Range: F1 Work

Subproperty of: E70 Thing. P130 shows features of (features are also found on): E70 Thing

Quantification: (0,n:0,n)

Scope note: This property associates an instance of F1 Work which logically continues the content of another instance of F1 Work with the latter.

Examples: Albrecht Dürer’s woodcut from ‘The Large Woodcut Passion’ entitled ‘The Agony in the Garden’ (F1, conceived ca 1496-98) R1 is logical successor of Albrecht Dürer’s woodcut from ‘The Large Woodcut Passion’ entitled ‘The Last Supper’ (F1, dated 1510)

The first ‘Star wars’ trilogy (F15, 1977-1983) R1 is logical successor of The second ‘Star wars’ trilogy (F15, 1999-2005) [Note that the logical order does not follow, in either of these two examples, the chronological order]

R2 is derivative of (has derivative)

Domain: F1 Work

Range: F1 Work

Subproperty of: E70 Thing. P130 shows features of (features are also found on): E70 Thing

Quantification: (0,n:0,n)

Scope note: This property associates an instance of F1 Work which modifies the content of another instance of F1 Work with the latter. The property R2.1 has type of this property allows for specifying the kind of derivation, such as adaptation, summarisation etc.

Examples: William Schuman’s orchestration of Charles Ives’s ‘Variations on America’ (F15) R2 is derivative of Charles Ives’s ‘Variations on America’ (F15) R2.1 has type orchestration (E55)

Charles Ives’s musical work entitled ‘Variations on America’ (F15) R2 is derivative of the musical work titled ‘America’ (F15) R2.1 has type variations (E55)

The musical work entitled ‘America’ (F15) R2 is derivative of the musical work entitled ‘God save the King’ (F15) R2.1 has type same tune with different lyrics (E55)

Properties: R2.1 has type: E55 Type

R3 is realised in (realises)

Domain: F1 Work

Range: F22 Self-contained Expression

Superproperty of: F14 Individual Work. R9 is realised in (realises): F22 Self-Contained Expression

F20 Performance Work. R12 is realised in (realises): F25 Performance Plan

F21 Recording Work. R13 is realised in (realises): F26 Recording

F1 Work. R40 has representative expression (is representative expression for): F22 Self-Contained Expression

Subproperty of: E70 Thing. P130 shows features of (features are also found on): E70 Thing

Quantification: (0,n:1,1)

Scope note: This property associates an instance of F22 Self-Contained Expression with an instance of F1 Work.

This property expresses the association that exists between an expression (F22) and the work that this expression conveys. The semantics of the association will be different depending on what specific subtype of F1 Work the work is an instance of. If the work is an instance of F14 Individual Work, the F22 Self-Contained Expression completely conveys the individual work. If the work is an instance of F15 Complex Work, the F22 Self-Contained Expression conveys an alternative member of the complex work.

Our factual knowledge of how a given work is realised into an expression is often limited and this property makes it possible to express the association between instances of F22 Self-Contained Expression and the work it conveys without using the more developed paths.

The property R3.1 has type: E55 Type allows for specifying the role played by the referred to expression in the overall bibliographic history of the work (e.g., ‘progenitor expression’, on which all other expressions of the same work are based; ‘reference for canonical citations’, in the sense of the HuCit ontology developed by Matteo Romanello and Michele Pasin; ‘earliest draft’, ‘intermediate draft’, ‘final clean draft’, ‘princeps edition’, etc.).

Examples: Dante’s work entitled ‘Inferno’ (F15) R3 is realised in the Italian text of Dante’s ‘Inferno’ as found in the authoritative critical edition La Commedia secondo l’antica vulgata a cura di Giorgio Petrocchi, Milano: Mondadori, 1966-67 (= Le Opere di Dante Alighieri, Edizione Nazionale a cura della Società Dantesca Italiana, VII, 1-4) (F22) R3.1 has type authoritative critical edition (E55)

Mozart’s work entitled ‘Il dissoluto punito ossia il Don Giovanni’ (F15) R3 is realised in the notated music of the Prague version, as found on manuscript Ms 1548 of the National Library of France (F22) R3.1 has type autograph version (E55)

Properties: R3.1 has type: E55 Type
