An individual or group named may be directly responsible for the work embodied in the manifestation (e.g., the author, composer, etc.), or indirectly responsible (e.g., the author of a novel on which a film script is based). Other individuals or groups named in the statement may include those responsible for the expression of the work contained in the manifestation (e.g., translators, performers, etc.), or those responsible for the compilation of works contained in the manifestation (e.g., the editor, compiler, etc.). A statement of responsibility may name an organization responsible for sponsoring or issuing the work contained in the manifestation. The statement may also indicate the role or function performed by each of the individuals, groups, or organizations responsible. The names appearing in the statement of responsibility in the manifestation may or may not be those of the persons and corporate bodies actually responsible for the creation or realization of the intellectual or artistic content embodied in the manifestation. Similarly, the stated functions may or may not reflect the actual relationship that exists between the individuals and groups named and the intellectual or artistic content.
