Completeness of content
A manifestation embodies an expression of a work that is either static or diachronic. A static work is planned to be embodied in a single act of publication or production. A diachronic work is planned to be embodied in multiple acts of publication or production over time.
Assess the static or diachronic nature of the work that is embodied in the manifestation by using the guidance in this section.
A manifestation cannot embody expressions of both a static work and a diachronic work.
An issue or iteration of a diachronic work is a static work. The manifestation that embodies an expression of an issue or iteration of a diachronic work is complete, and is a sub-unit or iteration of the incomplete manifestation that embodies the expression of the diachronic work.
A manifestation that embodies an expression of an issue or iteration of a diachronic work may be indicated by a statement that appears in the manifestation:
- a statement of issue or iteration
- a common title that is included in a statement of title and responsibility
