I am fairly new to the cataloguing world so I may be lacking in understanding, but it seems to me that the full capabilities of the FRBR model will not be realised until we move away from flat databases to something that will cater for the full hierarchical structure of FRBR. Until (or if)

Ask yourself: is the movie a valid alternative to the book? Is the creator of the movie the same as the creator of the book (if the answer is no to either, it can't be a work). The purpose of FRBR has never been to put related works together in one hiërarchy, but the works will of course be
