WORKS:

All creative works and versions (even one-version works) will be modelled at two levels: Work and Version, Edition, and Translation, or in the case of performed works, Work and Performance.

All Scholarly Works will only be a reference or when need to use ‘stated_in’ we will create an item which only has the level of the version

The subclasses of Work are: Creative Work and Scholarly Work. Their subclasses are:

Creative Work
Anthology
Discursive, instructional or educational work
Dramatic work
Everyday expression
Film
Graphic Work
Literary Work

Scholarly Work
Edited Collection

LITERARY ADAPTATION

Literary Adaptation is the only Form of the Creative Work belonging to the class Film. Other forms of film are outside of the domain of ALMEDA. All other filmic material in ALMEDA is modelled as content type within a version of the work. (e.g. )

AUTHOR NAME STRING

Author name string is used for records on authors where only names that are clearly aliases or fictional names, (such as ‘Badger’ or ‘Man'J Mam '96’), initials or abbreviated names are given in the source material.

In such cases, Author name string is applied to both the Work and Version records.

Until such time as the identity of the author is known to the project, 'author name string' will remain in the record

When only initials are given, then the name of the publication of the work is given in square brackets behind the author string. (e.g. C. M. [Drum Magazine])
