“…According to the FRBRoospecification it covers the notion that "The conceptual unity observed across a number of complete sets of signs, which makes it possible to organise publications into `bibliographic families.´ This is modelled as: F15 Complex Work is a F1 Work, and F15 Complex Work R10 has member (is member of) F1 Work" (Working Group on FRBR/CRM Dialogue, 2016, p. 26). Vukadin (2014) points out that in addition to providing a practical means for collocating bibliographic entities in a superwork set, the FRBRoo F15 complex work concept can be used in cases when it is difficult to identify a common ancestor of the entities. This is common in so-called transmedia works that contain stories taking place in a shared fictional world but are often instantiated simultaneously across multiple media platforms.…”

Purpose Considerable effort is devoted to developing new models for organizing bibliographic metadata. However, such models have been repeatedly criticized for their lack of proper user testing. The purpose of this paper is to present a study on how non-experts in bibliographic systems map the bibliographic universe and, in particular, how they conceptualize relationships between independent but strongly related entities. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on an open concept-mapping task performed to externalize the conceptualizations of 98 novice students. The conceptualizations of the resulting concept maps are identified and analyzed statistically. Findings The study shows that the participants’ conceptualizations have great variety, differing in detail and granularity. These conceptualizations can be categorized into two main groups according to derivative relationships: those that apply a single-entity model directly relating document entities and those (the majority) that apply a multi-entity model relating documents through a high-level collocating node. These high-level nodes seem to be most adequately interpreted either as superwork devices collocating documents belonging to the same bibliographic family or as devices collocating documents belonging to a shared fictional world. Originality/value The findings can guide the work to develop bibliographic standards. Based on the diversity of the conceptualizations, the findings also emphasize the need for more user testing of both conceptual models and the bibliographic end-user systems implementing those models.

“…Ana Vukadin's (2014) work Bits and Pieces of Information: Bibliographic Modeling of Transmedia looked at modeling of transmedia works and, like the research presented here, examined the suitability of FRBR Work and FRBR OO Complex Work entities in portraying relationships in transmedia works. Vukadin did not argue for a singular franchise-level Superwork entity, but instead looked at the capability of Work and Complex Work to portray various relationships in transmedia.…”

Background. Multimedia franchises may have a single origin, but over time develop into a network of related creative works in various media formats such as film, novels, animation, and video games. A single entity to represent a whole franchise is often utilized on the Web, but the ability for existing bibliographic models to represent this entity, which we refer to as the Superwork, is unclear.Objective. This research sought to determine whether entities representing multimedia franchises and the relationships they contain can be accurately portrayed using current models and, if not, how a new entity can be differentiated from the entities in the existing models. It also examines the role of existing franchise-level concepts on the Web and their ability to define properties and boundaries. Methods. We contrasted the franchise-level concept against official documentation and past research into similar entities (i.e. FRBR Work and FRBR OO Complex Work). A mapping and analysis of franchise articles on Wikipedia was performed to identify user-created boundaries and relationships between related instances. Results. The analysis revealed that the concept of a singular entity for a multimedia franchise was not the intended use for existing bibliographic entities, and that users will create such entities to collocate resources belonging to a single franchise. The Wikipedia mapping showed how and where users established relationships between works and media types, and thus what entities the Superwork should be directly connected to. Contribution. This study builds upon past bibliographic family and transmedia research, and suggests that more effort should be put towards examining existing collocation activities of users.

“…The vagueness of the definition of transmedia storytelling can best be captured when it is compared with One-Source Multiple-Use (OSMU) concept [20]. Transmedia storytelling is significantly similar to OSMU in the sense that they can both be used to explain the same thing [20].…”
