Optional editionEdition
Optional encodingEncoding level gives an indication of the overall metadata quality of the manifestation and its associated entities.
full: Full level. Indicates that the manifestation has been fully catalogued from
information derived from an inspection of the physical or electronic item according to
current cataloguing rules, or automatically derived from such a description. Associated
entities (expressions, works, contributors, etc.) are also fully described, but not
necessarily manually examined.
preliminary: Preliminary (or partial) level. Indicates that the description is not
considered final by the creating agency (e.g., the headings may not reflect established
forms; the record may not meet national-level cataloging specifications). Such descriptions
are usually upgraded to full descriptions at a later stage, but this may not happen e.g. if
the item is never ordered by a library.
Optional expressionsWork expressions in this manifestation.
Identifier for the expression
Whether the manifestation embodies (1-1) or contains (1-N) the expression.
Note that when a manifestation contains (1-N) multiple expressions, there may or may not also be an expression that the manifestation embodies (1-1). For instance for short story collection, the short stories themselves are works contained in the manifestation, but the collection itself may also constitute its own work embodied in the manifestation.
Identifier for the work.

ISBN. International identifier for manifestations of books, including e-books and audio books.
Intended to be unique, but is not always. A single manifestation may have more than one, or the same ISBN may erroneously be assigned to different editions of the same book or even two separate works.

implemented (as of Sept 2023).
