Definition

From the Moving Image Cataloguing Manual pg. 20:

A moving image Variant is an entity that may be used to indicate any change to content-related characteristics that do not significantly change the overall content of a Work as a whole. Such Variants can be produced by minor additions, deletions or substitutions to the content. As a general guideline, changes that would result in a different content description should be treated as a separate Work rather than a Variant.

D.2 Variant Type contains a vocabulary for this concept, with the following terms:

Censored
Dubbed
Subtitled
Abridged/Condensed
Augmented
Preservation/Restoration
Different sound track
Sonorized
Colourized
Black and white copy of work originally issued in colour

Recommendation

Despite minimal representation in the data contributed so far, the vocabulary articulated in the Manual could likely be used as is. I do find the term "Black and white copy of work originally issued in colour" unwieldy, and suggest it could be replace with "greyscaled".

The new edition of the cataloguing manual is also consistently breaking "Preservation/Restoration" into distinct concepts, adopted here.
