- Uses entity-relationship analysis to identify key concepts, properties,
and relationships of musical objects
- Identifies, separates, and relates logical and physical layers of
musical works and their physical manifestations
- Similar to FRBR from IFLA, but designed specifically for music
- In addition to descriptive metadata, also includes structural and
technical metadata

- Allows for navigation within the work and between its different
instantiations
- Provides appropriate and complete descriptive, administrative, and
structural metadata for each entity
- Provides for Variations2 as a research system in addition to a discovery
system

- To “study how students, faculty, and library patrons use digital music
resources—and learn how technology can be used or adapted to help this
process.”
