9.2 Definitions

9.2.1 Other relationships¹

If desired or appropriate, express relationships that are not covered by the Agent, Subject, and Event relationships, including all kinds of aggregation and re-use of Works and their Variants. (See Aggregates (Compilations, Multi-component productions).)

Record one or more “Other” relationship type terms to express the nature of the relationship to the Work/Variant, choosing the most specific term possible from a controlled list of values , for example, “based on,” “contained in,” etc. . A suggested list, which is open and not exhaustive, can be found in Other Relationships for Works, Variants, Manifestations, Items.

Or, compose a term to describe the relationship between the Work being catalogued and the related Work.

In a note, add any additional information concerning the relationship considered relevant.

Describe or demonstrate Work-to-Work relationships through linking to the Work identifier of the related Work, through the usage of relator terms, or according to the confines of the institution’s data structure.

Remember, a Work based on a pre-existing Work should be identified as a Variant of the same Work unless it has been so significantly changed as to have become a new related Work.³ See Boundaries between Works and Boundaries between Works and Variants for determining when a Work should be identified as a new, but related Work and when it should be identified as a Variant of the original Work.

9.2.2 Variants

Express the relationship between a moving image Work and a moving image Variant (e.g., Part/part of). Describe or demonstrate Work-to-Variant relationships through linking to the Work identifier, through the usage of relator terms, or according to the confines of your data structure.

9.2.3 Manifestations

Express the relationship between a moving image Work or Variant and a moving image Manifestation (e.g., Part/part of). Describe or demonstrate Work-to-Manifestation relationships through linking to the Work identifier, through the usage of relator terms, or according to the confines of your data structure.

9.3 Manifestations from chapter

9.3.1 “Other” Relationships

Expresses relationships that are not covered by the Agent and Event relationships. Aggregation relationships are expressed at the Work/Variant level (see Aggregates (Compilations, Multi-component productions)).

Commonly-occurring relationships include:

Manifestations that the moving image Manifestation forms part of (e.g. series/serials).

Example

Le cryptogramme rouge (35mm print, m 984, m 48’ (18fps)

3° episode of the serial Les vampires (L. Feuillade, 1915).

Manifestation(s) that the moving image Manifestation has a sequential relationship with (e.g. series/serials).

Manifestation(s) that are promotional material(s) (i.e. trailers) for a particular Manifestation.

Example

Rashomon (Japan, 1950, A. Kurosawa) “has as promotional material”: Rashomon, Italian trailer (35mm), of the Italian theatrical release (1952).

Non-moving image Works/Manifestation(s), about or relating to the moving image Manifestation (e.g. objects, articles, documents such as a review relating to a DVD home video publication, advertising materials referring to a specific theatrical distribution, related materials such as censorship visas, laboratory technical papers, etc.)

Example

Metro. Issue 157. June 2008. “DVD review: Blade Runner: The Final Cut”, by Steven Aoun.

Record one or more “Other” relationship type to express the nature of the relationship to the Manifestation, choosing the most specific term possible from existing relator terms lists, for example, “commentary on,” “review of,” etc. Selection should be made from a controlled list of values. A suggested list, which is open and not exhaustive, can be found in Manifestation Other Relationship Types.

Or, compose a term to describe the relationship between the Manifestation being catalogued and the related Manifestation.

In a note, add any additional information concerning the relationship considered relevant.

Describe or demonstrate Manifestation-to-Manifestation relationships through linking to the Manifestation identifier of the related Manifestation, through the usage of relator terms, or according to the confines of your data structure.

If the cataloguing system allows the procedure, attach a digital file that reproduces any associated “document.”

9.3.2 Item(s)

Express the relationship between a moving image Manifestation and a moving image Item (e.g. Part/part of).

Here could be listed the unique Item identifiers associated to this Manifestation, noting their “part of “ relationships to the Manifestation.

9.3.3 Work

Express the relationship between a moving image Manifestation and a moving image Work (e.g., Part/part of). Describe or demonstrate Manifestation-to-Work relationships through linking to the Manifestation identifier, through the usage of relator terms, or according to the confines of your data structure.

9.3.4 Variant

Express the relationship between a moving image Manifestation and a moving image Variant (e.g., Part/part of). Describe or demonstrate Manifestation-to-Variant relationships through linking to the Manifestation identifier, through the usage of relator terms, or according to the confines of your data structure.

9.3.5 Items from chapter

Express relationships that are not covered by the Agent and Event relationships. These may include compilations of convenience, i.e. where an institution has transferred copies of two or more films onto one reel/tape/DVD etc. for convenient storage.⁴

Item(s) associated with the moving image Item.

It is possible for a moving image Item to have a horizontal relationship with another Item as a related object. Such associative relationships are more prevalent and varied at the Work level, but there are instances where Items need to be related, for example, where an institution has separate Items for Yellow, Cyan and Magenta Separation Negatives, each of which have to be combined in Technicolor Three Colour Strip Process to make a new colour print. Or, hold separate sound and image Items that would both be needed to make a new print. Similarly, in the case of restorations where separate Items or elements have been used to create a new restored Item.

Example

The Wizard of Oz (United States of America, 1939, Victor Fleming)

Yellow Separation Negative, Cyan Separation Negative, Magenta Separation Negative

Example

Local hero (United Kingdom, 1983, Bill Forsyth)

DPX sequence, WAV audio file

An Item that contains other Items (e.g. two or more separate Items are held on the same reel/tape/DVD etc. for convenient storage).

Example

Selezione Fregoli 2002

Compilation of 16 short Fregoli films, spliced together for projection convenience.

Example

Laughing gas (United States of America, 1914, Charlie Chaplin)

Those love pangs (United States of America, 1914, Charlie Chaplin)

(two Charlie Chaplin short comedies spliced together on one reel - for storage convenience).

Item that is the source of a moving image Item (e.g. In-house copying of an Item to create a new Item for preservation or access)

Example

35mm CTA Duplicating Postive copy of Carnival (c.1927) made from a 35mm

Nitrate Negative copy of Carnival (c.1927)
