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?

Quoting Kelley McGrath <kell...@uoregon.edu>:
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. Chris Fitzpatrick developed the
demonstration interface to meet OLAC’s specifications using the free
open source tools Ruby on Rails, Solr, and the Blacklight and Hydra
plug-ins. This project was only possible due to the contributions of
a great many people, some of whom are listed at
http://blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/page/credits.
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.
An overview of the goals of the interface is available at
http://blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/page/about. Some suggested
sample searches and potential use cases may be seen at
http://blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/page/samples.
We invite you to check it out and send us your feedback. Comments,
questions, complaints, and suggestions may be sent to me at
kell...@uoregon.edu. Also, if you are interested in contributing to
a larger grant project to try to bring this idea into a production
environment, please contact me.
