ABOUT THE WEBINAR

In the new models for describing information resources (FRBR, RDA,
BIBFRAME), the conceptual essence of an item-referred to as a "Work"-is
separated from the specific manifestations of the item-referred to as
"Instances" or "Expressions". The work "Macbeth by Shakespeare" could have
multiple forms or versions and exist in a variety of media, from a print
copy of the play to a DVD of a live performance. Of equal importance in the
new models is describing the relationship between a Work and its various
Instances/Expressions. This represents an entirely different way of thinking
about resource description for libraries and users.

While the new models are still in the early days of implementation, a number
of efforts are already underway to describe resources using these new
concepts and relationships. This webinar will explore how metadata
descriptive systems are developing around the new notion of "Works".
