A work is realized by an expression, which is embodied in a manifestation, which is exemplified by an item.

A Manifestation is the physical embodiment (i.e., publication) of an expression of a work that is produced by a person or corporate body.° A publication of an expression is called a manifestation

Attributes of a manifestation: title, statement of responsibility, edition, imprint (place, publisher, date), form/extent and dimensions of carrier, terms of availability, mode of access, identifier (if it has one), etc. For sound recordings: playing speed, groove width, kind of cutting, tape configuration, kind of sound, special reproduction characteristic

Music can be performed, but only when it is recorded is there a manifestation Work: J.S.
