Would this be a work record by the FRBR model? (I know that Barbara Tillett was talking about using authority records to implement FRBR, but I don't know how far the thinking about that was developed.)

kc

Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) lists the following Attributes of a Work:

Form of work
Date of the work
Medium of performance
Subject of the work
Numeric designation
Key
Place of origin of the work
History
Other distinguishing characteristic

It then says: Note: The attributes of a work listed above include only those that are normally reflected in controlled access points or in other data elements recorded in authority records. They do not include other attributes of a work that may be reflected in bibliographic records, as identified in Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.

It's clear from FRAD that the relationship of the director to the moving image work would be considered a bibliographic relationship and not an authority relationship. That is, FRAD doesn't discuss the person to work relationship type - the diagram on page 23 of FRAD and chapter 5 on relationships make it clear that this type of relationship is not reflected in authority data according to the FRAD model.
