Indecs Content Model

The indecs Content Model is a model of any kind of content or intellectual property throughout its life cycle from conception to the final physical or digital copies. It was developed by the indecs Project.

The sense of "abstraction", "manifestation" and "item" should be clear, but "expression" is perhaps a subtler concept. A sound recording is perhaps the most natural example; it is the expression of a musical work during a recording session at a particular place and time, and is distinct from, say, the master tape made, which is a manifestation.
