CC:DA/TF/Music Moving Image Materials/1-3 Task Force on Music Moving Image Materials, Charge, Roster, and Draft Report

Abstract

The Task Force is charged with reviewing the cataloging rules regarding the main entry for moving image materials with prominent musical content (such as music videos, videorecordings of live orchestral performances and operas, and including music interactive multimedia and computer files), determining the specific areas of AACR2 which give rise to the existing conflicting interpretations, and making recommendations regarding what course of action CC:DA should take, including the proposal of rule changes, etc. The conflicts arise with two differing views of the nature of the authorship of these works, and since the concepts of authorship and work in the Anglo-American cataloging tradition are intertwined, the different interpretations of authorship result in the corresponding conflict of "work" versus "manifestation."
