[MEI-L] Recordings and FRBR

[Axel Teich Geertinger]

Hi Benjamin

I don't know the circumstances of the performance and the recording, but I'd say the engineers should be mentioned at manifestation level rather than at expression level, since they (probably) were involved in producing the manifestation only, not the broader context, that is the staging or live performance. 
If, on the other hand, the entire performance was exclusively set up for the recording (i.e. not performed for an audience), I am not so sure about where to put them, but even in that case I think manifestation level would not be wrong.

Would be interesting to hear some other opinions, though :-)

Dear MEI-L:isteners,

I'm currently encoding metadata for the Freischütz recording that we issued in our project. Trying to fit all the data into the FRBR-concept we decided to encode the Performance that was recorded as "Expression" 
while the recording itself / the (not yet) published audio files (the
"publication") should be described as "Manifestation" (If there'd ever be a CD this would be an "Item").
Now I'm wondering a couple of things:
- the Manifestation clearly will include metadata on the editing and mixing engineers but should information about the recording engineers be included in the Expression or the Manifestation?
- The recording will be published non physical on our website; can this be properly grasped as "Item" in the FRBR model or is it to be regarded as part of the "Manifestation"?

Many thanks for your thoughts and shared experience!

Best wishes,
Benjamin
