Works and Expressions 2 Scope The purpose of this module is to learn how to describe works and expressions This workshop does not cover Music Legal works Series Module 6. Works and Expressions 3 Definitions (RDA 5.1.2) The term work refers to a distinct intellectual or artistic creation (i.e., the intellectual or artistic content). The term expression refers to the intellectual or artistic realization of a work in the form of alpha-numeric, musical or choreographic notation, sound, image, object, movement, etc., or any combination of such forms. Module 6. Works and Expressions 4 Definitions (RDA 5.1.2) The terms work and expression should be read, where applicable, to include not only an individual entity, but also aggregates and components of such entities (i.e., the term work should be read to include aggregate works and components of works as well as individual works, etc.) So throughout this presentation “work” and “expression” can refer to collections and parts, as well as individual works or expressions Module 6.
