Creating a work, instance, item
With Figure 1 shows the home page for the HipHop examplecollection VitroLib instance. From the home page, the cataloger can click the button that says “work” which will open up a form, shown in Figure 2, with fields that were included based on the “constant music record” macro or template that was identified by catalogers as relevant to this work.
...
This form creates the work, instance, and item and relates them to each other. At the work level, the cataloger can identify title, type, language, and lookup persons or organizations from the Library of Congress (LOC) Name Authorities or from ISNI. Clicking on the “verify this match” link next to the selected entity from LOC will open up the LOC page describing the Real World Object (RWO) to which we are linking this work.

The grouping and display of properties is governed by decisions captured in SHACL metadata application profiles for the HipHop use case. For some of these properties, we created custom editing forms that will enable the cataloger to specify multiple related pieces of information together. We We have also created custom displays which show more information than the default object label and link. For example, the physical instance or manifestation property provides a link from the work to the instance but also includes information about the instance such as publisher, date and location of publication, and audio issue number. Clicking on the name of the instance will take the cataloger to the linked instance entity shown in Figure 14. Next to the specific class of entity on work, instance, and item pages, we also display “work”, “instance”, or “item” to help identify the information the cataloger is viewing. The instance “audio example” thus shows “(instance)” next to the specific type “Audio disc”. Like the work page, the instance page has properties with information that the cataloger can view or edit. The “has item” property links to the item page which shows properties at the item level.
