Wikicat Technical Design/Manifestation Entities
Wikicat datamodel for Manifestation-related entities.
Manifestation[edit]
A Manifestation is the primary entity of the catalog and represents the particular physical characteristics for embodying a fixed artistic or intellectual creation. The MANIFESTATION table itself is very sparse as most attributes either pertain to sub-entities such as INFIXION, or are contained in common/shared tables such as TITLE. Relationships to external, non-bibliograhpic entities mentioned in Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), such as the Person or Corporate Body that facilitated the Manifestation, are not represented in the model yet as the optimal manner for modeling these plus even more amorphous entities is yet to be determined. Where possible, such relations are captured through purely-bibliographic data such as edition statements of responsibility. See the discussion of bibliographic vs. "real-world" for a further discussion of this design strategy.

Fabrication and Publication[edit]
Release[edit]
Defined in AACR2's The Logical Structure... as "the act of making copies of a document available to the public" (TAB 21, p. 1), the Release entity embodies one such distinct act. Release is effectively the same as publication in the model, and is by definition applicable to only a single Manifestation.

foreign key to COUNTRY
A Release can occur in multiple locations. Table PLACE_RELEASE contains an entry for each distinct locality taking part in a single Release. Note that there is an element of judgement in determining whether releases in different locations are part of a single release or separte releases. For example, was the release of Titanic in Japan a separate release from that in the United States, or a sub-release for a particular locality? In general, if releases in particular locations are planned in conjunction then they are part of a single Release.

Manufacture[edit]
Manufacture embodies "the act of making copies of a document by means of a mechanical or electronic process" (TAB 20, p. 1). By definition here, an instance of Manufacture is applicable to only a single Manifestation.

Intersection table between MANUFACTURE and RELEASE. Associates an act of manufacture with an act of release. Note that multiple instances of manufacture can be organized for one release; additionally, a single manufacturing run may be apportioned among multiple releases. It is not thought necessary or particularly useful to specify the exact Impression used for a Release.
