Slide2: Background
In the early 1960’s
The idea of the IFLA UBCIM Programme,
Universal Bibliographic Control and International
Marc programme
- each publication would be catalogued only once in the country of its origin
Slide3: Cataloguing Conference of Directors of National Libraries,
and the IFLA Division of Bibliographic Control
- the changing environment of the bibliographic data
- costs of cataloguing and authority control
- increasing need to share bibliographic data nationally
and internationally
- how to meet the different users and their needs
- how to get intellectual and physical access to the documents in the networked environment
Slide4: The Starting point to the FRBR-study
A Seminar on Bibliographic Records,
held on 15-16 August 1990 in Stockholm
- ” the national bibliographic agency should be responsible for ensuring the recording of the national published output in all media, whilst taking account of the needs of the variety of groups of users”
- ” a study should be commissioned to define the functional requirements for bibliographic records in relation to the variety of user needs and the variety of media”
Slide5:
A Seminar on Bibliographic Records,
held on 15-16 August 1990 in Stockholm
- In this seminar IFLA Section on Cataloguing established a Study Group on Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
Slide6: A Seminar on Bibliographic Records,
held on 15-16 August 1990 in Stockholm
Goals
- to create a conceptual framework for the future environment of bibliographic data
- to investigate different users and user needs
- to analyse the functions of the bibliographic records
- to develope a logical record model for containing all important attributes and their interrelationships
- a recommendation for the basic level bibliographic record created by national bibliographic agencies
Slide7: When we are now looking at the enormous mass of materials from past and present, which exists in all possible formats and forms, some questions arise:
How to get relevant information from this chaos?
How to get access to the same work embodied in different manifestations and possibly existing in different types of institutions?
Slide8:
The electronic environment diminishes the importance of the form of information.
Important is the intellectual and artistic content
Our task is to create virtually seamless access to information and relevant retrieval of information for our users
Slide9:
… a deeper semantic interoperability
The entity-relationship model of the FRBR offers a new way for providing systematic access to the intellectual/artistic content of the works, in whatever medium that intellectual content is stored, and by whatever medium it is accessed
The FRBR model is intended to be independent of any cataloguing code or implementation, and it opens new
possibilities for organising bibliographic information

Slide11: What does the entity-relationship model mean?
Slide12: The entity-relationship model consists of
entities
attributes
relationships
Entity = key object of the user’s interest
Attributes = elements associated with entities
(e.g. place name)
Slide13: Entities
Relationships
Attributes entity entity Entity-relationship model relationship
Slide14:
What are the generic tasks of the user?
Our imaginary user is supposed to be looking for
a particular document or trying to find out what
information resources exist on a particular subject
or person
After successfull search result he wants to select one or more documents and verify their availability
Slide15: According to the FRBR the generic
tasks of the user are
to find
to identify an entity
to select an entity
to obtain access to the entity described
- rights managing, preservation, attributing royalties, navigating …(BT)
Slide16: The Entity-Relationship Model includes three groups of entities
Group 1:
- work
- expression
- manifestation
- item
Slide17:
Work:
distinct intellectual or artistic creation
(abstract entity)
Slide18: Expression
Intellectual or artistic realization of a work
e.g. in the form of software, or textual, visual, or coreographical notation, sound, image, movement,etc.
or any combination
different versions, revisions, performances, translations etc. may be considered as the expression of the parent work
copyright protects the expression
Slide19: Manifestation
represents the physical embodiment of an expression of a work
e.g. resources which are issued or published
Slide20: Manifestation
an expression or expressions of the work may be published in various ”carriers” such as manuscripts, books, continuum resources, maps, sound recordings, multimedia kits, films, electronic resources etc.
The manifestation is representing all the physical objects that bear the same intellectual content and physical form
Slide21: Item
the single copy of a manifestation
e.g. the electronic article
Slide22: Group 2 entities: “responsibility entities”
Persons and corporate bodies, which are responsible for the creation, realization or for the physical production or dissemination of the group 1 entities
Slide23: Group 3 include subject entities
Concepts
Objects
Events
Places
-usually serving as the subjects of the works
in addition group 1 and group 2 entities may appear as subjects of the works
Slide24: Group 1 entities and primary relationships work realized through expression embodied in manifestation exemplified by item
Slide25: Expression

Slide32: Functional principles work Realized through expression embodied in manifestation exemplified by item Intellectual and
artistic content Physical -
recording of
content
Slide33: Relationships
various relationships reflect meaningful associations between different entities
provide links between one entity and another
help the user to formulate a search query (access points)
explain relationships for identification and collocation
assist users to ”navigate” in the bibliographic universe
Slide34: work work Relationship - successor
- supplement
- complement
- summarization
- adaptation
- transformation
- imitation
- whole/part to
Slide35: expression expression Relationship - successor

Slide36: expression expression Relationship to - abridgement

Slide40: Group 2: Person(s) and coporate body(ies) – responsible for the Group 1 entities person corporate
body creates is created by realizes is realized by produces is produced by owns is owned by work expression manifestation item
Slide41: Group 3: concept, object, event, or place
