FRBR provides hierarchical links to navigate resources that are composed
by a specific set of items. The main entities in FRBR are the work, the
expression, the manifestation and the item.
The work ”represents a distinct intellectual or artistic creation” [Pla98].
For example, in video game contexts the concept The Legend of Zelda (TM) is
a work. In a FRBR URI this concept must be expressed as the following:
/jp/zelda/21-02-1986
The URI expresses that Zelda is a work, published in Japan on February the
21st, 1986.
The expression is ”the specific intellectual or artistic form that a work
takes each time it is realized” [Pla98]. In Zelda example, an expression
can describe the Ocarina of the time (TM) episode of the game released in
November 1998 in Japanese. The URI of this expression is the following:
/jp/zelda/21-02-1986/ocarina/jp@11-1998
The manifestation is ”the physical embodiment of an expression of a work. As
an entity, manifestation represents all the physical objects that bear the same
characteristics, in respect to both intellectual content and physical form.”
[Pla98]. For the Zelda work, a manifestation can be the Ocarina of the time
version stored on Nintendo Optical Disk (TM) , released for Nintendo Game
Cube (TM) . The URI of this manifestation can be the following:
/jp/zelda/21-02-1986/ocarina/jp@11-1998/game.nod
The item is ”a single exemplar of a manifestation. The entity defined as
item is a concrete entity.” [Pla98]. For example an item of Zelda Ocarina of
the Time(TM) , in its Game Cube(TM) version, can be the file character.png,
describing the physical file that contains the art of the main character of the
game. Items can be expressed in URI format as the following:
/jp/zelda/21-02-1986/ocarina/jp@11-1998/game.nod/Link.png
