Dear Simon,

Interesting thought. I'd say however, I am not confused by this. In my opinion, the problem lays in the human mind, which tries to stretch abstractions over incompatible evidence.

From a CRM point of view, every copy of such a process is an individual physical object. Why should we call it a Manifestation, or even something more abstract, if it does not fit to the book market process this concept was designed for?

If there is an individual artistic contribution each time (as I mentioned in my last message), then we talk about new features on the plate each time, which correspond to a new symbolic content ("Expression"). There are two cases: Either it is an overall derivative, or there is an "incorporation" of content by virtue of the fixed features on the plate. So, I'd say the individually colored copy "incorporates" the plate optical content and adds a new creation process to it.

The question of second order logic arises when we want to talk about types of types of things which inherit fixed properties from their class, such as the number of pages of a book. If regarding such copies is better modelled as instances of a type or not is for me the primary question, not the kind of logic to be used. The fixed features on the individually colored plate would hardly be expanded into discrete properties, besides itself being on the plate.

Also, to my understanding, the second order logic features needed to describe inheritance of properties from types of types or classes is completely decidable and no technical problem except for the current reluctance of IT to think in such terms ;-) . Interesting are the requirements which kind of logic cultural-historical data need, rather than, which logic to avoid. From CRM-SIG point of view, we require since a long time more powerful forms of logic than standard DL.

What do you think?

To add a bit more confusion to the discussion, one can consider Blake's hand printed books. Every plate was coloured individually, and differently, and are some scholars consider each copy to be a distinct [thing more abstract than Manifestation].

There is some justification for this, as there is distinct intellectual content (produced by the original author, even). This seems to fall into the awkward place in FRBR where expression and work overlap.

This happens a lot in different places in FRBR; it's difficult to handle without using a second order logic, or at least a first order logic which allows for quantifying over known predicates.

    Hi everyone,
    I completely agree with Martin. There is no point in dealing with
    art prints as continuing resources. PRESSoo is inadequate in this
    context. I think there is enough stuff in a combination of FRBRoo
    and CIDOC CRM to cope with at least the main issues raised by art
    prints. Surely an extension of FRBRoo could bring more refinements
    in the treatment of such products, but FRBRoo has to remain a
    high-level conceptual model.
    Best wishes,
    Patrick

    Hi Jim,

    A serialization character of prints is not so obvious to me. The
    reworking of print plates appears to me
    to be a rather peculiar process of modification of a material
    object, not so much an editorial series.
    The actual printing process is either a mechanical one, or a
    combination of manual creative work and
    mechanical work, which I'd see more similar to book printing on
    one side, and mold-based techniques,
    such as in ceramics or bronze?

    Best,

    Martin

    Regine, C.E.S., and Martin,

    In the context of FRBRoo as a DSL/extension of #cidocCRM with
    particular reference to the “serialization” character of print
    production, it may be useful to consider the ISSN.org’s
    contribution of PRESSoo, an extension/harmonization that brings
    serialization and continuation semantics to FRBRoo.

    The reference document is found here:

    
_http://www.issn.org/the-centre-and-the-network/our-partners-and-projects/pressoo/_

    and Patrick Le Boeuf’s presentation on behalf of the ISSN working
    group which developed this valuable contribution is here:
