Own-account literary and artistic original creation

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers creation of completed own-account book manuscripts, original musical scores and other eligible artistic originals excluding performing artists, painters and sculptors. The original is an identified expression intended for prospective sale without an existing contract or known buyer. It is not its later copies, a recording master or a generic writing-service hour. The real work may be fixed digitally or physically; no medium or genre is imposed. Source: un-cpc-creative-originals.

Commissioned creation services, performer outputs, paintings/sculptures, separately classified film/TV/radio and sound-recording originals, software/data/design/brand/research/exploration originals and licence-only transactions are outside the reference category. Artistic works not explicitly named in the classification require documented creator/output eligibility; the label “art” alone does not establish applicability. For a revised original disclose the baseline and whether the dataset covers its full creation or only incremental revision. Sources: un-cpc-creative-originals; usco-composition.

2. Product Category Identity

Field	Value
canonical_pcr_id	pcr.community-social-and-personal-services.creative-original-assets.own-account-literary-artistic-original-creation
classification_refs	CPC 3.0 96330; classification context only, not an accepted mapping
covered_products	Own-account book manuscripts, original musical scores and other eligible nonperforming artistic originals, with a completed identifiable expression
excluded_products	Commissioned writing/composition services; performer outputs; paintings and sculptures; sound-recording masters; film/TV/radio programme masters; copies/downloads; software, data, design, brand, R&D and exploration originals
representative_product	One identified complete own-account original of the declared genre/version; a manuscript or score is an example, not an average for all art
production_route	Project conception and source research → original drafting/composing/creating → actual revisions → expression fixation and verification → accepted original preservation and one initial handover when applicable
market_state	Completed original available for prospective sale/reuse, created without a prior contract or known buyer; medium and rights conditions declared

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Provide the declared original literary, musical or eligible artistic expression for subsequent reproduction or exploitation
How much	One complete identified original; not one printed copy, licence or download
How well	Completeness and readability/playability or genre-specific acceptance criteria evidenced by the actual creator/recipient record; no universal aesthetic or legal approval
How long or cycle	One declared creation interval ending in acceptance of this original/version; no default asset life or later use duration
reference_flow_link	creative_original_output

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Completed own-account creative original
Reference flow property	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345
Reference unit group	Units of items 5beb6eed-33a9-47b8-9ede-1dfe8f679159
Reference unit	item
Required qualifiers	original identifier; genre and intended function; creator and own-account provenance; version/date; expression medium and file or physical-object inventory; complete scope; acceptance criteria; first creation versus revision; source provenance and reuse permissions; rights and intended exploitation conditions; sites and creation interval; initial handover boundary

The unit alias item means exactly one Item(s) of the verified Units of items group; no kilogram or byte conversion defines the creative work. Declare every qualifier and actual completion evidence. Multiple files, backups and formats can embody one original; the medium mass is a separate input.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_count	reference product	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345	item	One completed original is the count basis; cp_original verifies the same version/completeness throughout all stages. Revenue, licences, users, pages and GB are descriptors, never substitute reference amounts.
electricity_energy	all electricity rows	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	MJ	Preserve the public Net calorific value property; 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ exactly. Measured job/storage/transfer attribution precedes conversion; network volume is not energy.
apparatus_mass	apparatus inputs	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Actual device mass supports upstream manufacture attribution only. It does not redefine the item reference or imply a default device/configuration/lifetime.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Documented own-account project initiation and actual source/previous-original baseline
starting_condition_role	Separates creation of this expression from upstream originals, general unrelated activity and later exploitation
product_classification_scope	Own-account creative original; exclude agreed-buyer commissioned creation and separately classified original assets
recursive_input_rule	Identify reused earlier originals once with their upstream dataset and declared attribution; do not recreate their historical creative work within this project
upstream_dataset_requirement	Compatible electricity, actual apparatus manufacture, stationery manufacture, earlier originals and supplier editing datasets; waste treatment separately linked
disclosure	Creator/project/version; real sites and dates; own-account intention; analog/digital route; supplier and apparatus coverage; shared-resource attribution; actual missing stages and downstream exclusions

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_creation	all creation stages	Include project-specific research, drafts, composing/notation, eligible artistic creation, revision, trials and rejected drafts, fixation, integrity/content verification, preservation through acceptance and actual initial original handover. The real medium governs processes; no mandatory printing, recording or datacenter.	un-cpc-creative-originals; usco-fixation
boundary_distinct_outputs	original versus exploitation	Keep composition separate from the derived sound-recording master; separate later publication/printing, consumer copies/downloads, broadcast, public performance and ongoing archive/use after acceptance. Original creation is charged once, with explicit downstream reuse attribution, never fully to every copy.	un-cpc-creative-originals; usco-composition
boundary_upstream	utilities apparatus suppliers	This is a declared original-creation foreground boundary. Compatible upstream inputs are needed before a cradle-to-gate claim. Include supporting workstation/cloud/storage/network and room utilities on their actual measured boundaries. Expand provider inventories into atomic exchanges or use one specific supplier delivery dataset; never both.
boundary_extensions	actual route completeness	Add a separate atomic row for each actual ink, pigment, film, photographic paper, substrate, adhesive, display, storage device, instrument, cooling utility, fuel, transport or waste not represented here. Record each chemical and environmental medium separately. No automatic onsite combustion emission arises from purchased electricity. Missing material exchanges make the dataset incomplete; zero requires absence evidence.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_direct	projects and versions	Subdivide records by project/version before allocation; include unsuccessful trials belonging to the accepted original. Reconcile shared workstation and room-meter totals with documented job/reservation or measured-use keys, including idle/overhead and unassigned use. Do not allocate by sale price, royalties, users or assumed downloads.
allocation_apparatus	apparatus	Use measured configuration-specific net apparatus mass and evidenced reservation time/capacity shares under cp_apparatus. Actual installed-life evidence is required; for non-computing apparatus use project-documented service-use attribution and sensitivity, not a default life. Provider datasets containing hardware must not be charged again.
allocation_originals	joint and reused originals	Document whether variants express one original or are distinct completed works. Split shared work using evidenced creative activity; when attribution is unsupported retain a joint-output dataset and unresolved allocation. A reused original enters with its explicit upstream share; rights are metadata, not material mass or an avoided-emission credit.
allocation_share_definition	apparatus manufacturing inputs	For an actual computing resource pool, its dimensionless manufacturing share is time_share × capacity_share: time_share is pool reserved/use time divided by evidenced actual lifetime/cumulative service time or justified expected lifetime; capacity_share is pool-reserved capacity divided by total available capacity. The recorded share and accepted-original count must cover the identical pool and interval. Use consistent time units and strictly positive denominators, and bound each share between zero and one. For non-computing equipment use only an evidenced causal service-use share and retain unsupported attribution for review. These symbols allocate upstream manufacture; they do not convert the creative original to mass.
allocation_asset_conservation	apparatus and reusable assets	Maintain one lifetime manufacturing ledger for each asset across all projects and periods. The denominator must cover evidenced actual lifetime/cumulative service or a justified expected life, with sensitivity and later reconciliation. Cumulative attributed manufacture shares must never exceed one; do not reset full manufacture at each project or observation period. Period-only allocation distributes only the previously justified manufacture share for that period, not the entire asset. Unknown lifetime or ledger coverage requires review.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
electricity_unit	all electricity rows	MJ = attributable measured kWh × 3.6; attribution is established from primary activity records before conversion.	cp_energy	MJ per declared reference flow
apparatus_share	portable_computer; still_camera; upright_piano; creation_server	Equipment manufacturing input (kg per declared reference flow) = measured net device mass (kg) × evidenced manufacturing share (dimensionless) / actual accepted-original count (item) covered by that share. The numerator describes upstream device manufacture attributed to the pool, not mass of the original. Record device identity, share scope and the actual positive output count through cp_apparatus. Sum separate device contributions without duplicating manufacture contained in supplier datasets; shared-count division requires demonstrated equivalent original beneficiaries, otherwise attribute independently or retain joint-output allocation for review.	cp_apparatus; measured net device mass; dimensionless manufacturing share; actual accepted-original count	kg per declared reference flow
original_basis	all inventory rows	Record actual attributable exchanges directly per declared reference flow. Split joint-original project records with a documented allocation before normalization; do not count backups, file formats or reprint editions as extra accepted originals.	cp_original; cp_energy; cp_material; cp_original_inputs; cp_apparatus	one original reference flow

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
quality_identity	reference original	Declare genre, intended expression/function, version, completeness, medium and actual own-account provenance; no default page count, notation length, physical mass, aesthetic score or protection term.	cp_original; actual rights and acceptance records
quality_coverage	all stages	Cover all participating sites and relevant providers through acceptance, including failed drafts and rework. Disclose meter/provider granularity, room utility scope and equipment/supplier gaps; absence of measurement is not zero.	project ledger; cp_energy; supplier inventories
quality_representative	dataset reuse	A particular manuscript, score or other original is not an industry-average creative work. Comparisons need compatible genre/function, completeness, medium and boundary. Declare actual dates, geography, activity, apparatus, uncertainty and update conditions.	actual project profile and coverage disclosure

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
validate_original	creative_original_output	Verify one complete own-account original and its exact version/medium, acceptance, intended function and source/reuse conditions. Reject a licence, commissioned writing service, printed publication, recording master or download as this reference. No count establishes artistic equivalence across genres.	un-cpc-creative-originals
validate_resources	all inventory rows	Check reference-output count, per-original denominator, meter coverage and 3.6 MJ/kWh conversion; verify each electricity country/voltage, apparatus property/configuration and supplier service unit. Reconcile creation jobs, paper stocks/discards and device shares. GB, file count and invoice money do not establish electricity.
validate_complete	dataset claim	Retain uncertainty when identities, actual exchanges, provider coverage, allocation or acceptance evidence remain missing. Applicable identity gaps and missing material stages prohibit a complete dataset claim; no independent review or legal/compliance approval is implied by structural checks.

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	Original-creation foreground dataset for one identified own-account creative expression
downstream_use	secondary_dataset; background_dataset
allowed_use	Original-production input with explicit upstream/reuse attribution and compatible creative function/version/medium; comparison only for equivalent declared reference scope
excluded_use	Per-download/publication/broadcast/use impact without separate stages; universal original average; legal rights approval; artistic quality certification; complete cradle-to-gate without required upstream evidence
required_metadata	All reference qualifiers; project sites and dates; actual analog/digital operations; supplier/device identities and boundaries; initial handover; allocation keys; conditional and added rows; downstream exclusions
required_quality_disclosure	Measured versus estimated data; missing exchanges/identities; grid/voltage; original/revision scope; apparatus-life/use uncertainty; supplier overlaps; completeness and representativeness limitations
update_trigger	A materially changed original/version or creation route, supplier/energy/apparatus boundary, revised reuse attribution or corrected acceptance/resource evidence
