On the other hand, language is not a characteristic of the FRBR work, either. I'd hesitate to claim that Dryden's Iliad is an expression of the FRBR work Iliad, but that a colorized version of Casablanca is not an expression of the FRBR work Casablanca.
The FRBR work is defined as abstract and inclusive. The more variant versions there are, the more apparent the indefiniteness of the FRBR work becomes. If we want one version to be definitive of the work, we need a different conceptual model. Stephen At 08:56 AM 4/4/2007, Hal Cain wrote:
I tend to agree with Martha Yee that colour is pretty significant for a film; I'm not sure I would call colorizing a film originally black & white (or creating a black & white version of a coloured film -- like what I used to see on a TV screen before colour TV came in) necessarily "damage" but it's surely a modification of a fairly fundamental attribute!
