FRBR by Jamila Jaber 2

• The Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records “Ferber” is a conceptual entity-relationship model that relates user tasks of retrieval and access in online library catalogues and bibliographic databases


What is a conceptual model?

Abstract representation of the universe of things being described

• Things in that universe (Entities)

• Identifying characteristics of those

entities (Attributes)

• Linking these entities (Relationships)


FRBR is:

• Not Cataloguing Rules

• Not Data Models

• Not an implementation study/guide


• Almost forty years ago the IFLA initiated a fundamental re-examination of cataloguing theory and practice on an international level

• 1992-1997 IFLA’s FRBR Working Group

• 1998 IFLA's FRBR, Final Report


• Provide a clearly defined, structured framework for relating the data that are recorded in bibliographic records to the needs of the users

• Recommend a basic level of functionality for records created by national bibliographic agencies


From: Object oriented model Emphasis on the object containing a document/content (AACR2)

To: Content oriented model IFLA 1998 focuses at functional requirements of library catalog records (catalogs objectives/ User tasks)


RDA

• RDA “new AACR2” is a cataloging standard that is based on the FRBR conceptual model

• RDA introduces a new framework for technical and content description consists of three data elements: Content type, media type and carrier type


Modeling

• FRBR & User Tasks “FRBR is a user-centered model, explicitly relating its organization of entities and attributes to the users tasks identified by the 1998 IFLA modification to the Paris Principles (find, identify, select, and obtain).”(Antelman, 2004)

• Entity-Relationship framework – Entities (a class of things)

– Relationships (associations among entities)

– Attributes (characteristics of the entities)


• Find

to locate either a single entity or a set of entities as the result of a search using an attribute or relationship of the entity

• Identify

to confirm that the entity described corresponds to the entity sought, or to distinguish between two or more entities with similar characteristics


• Select

to choose an entity that meets the user's requirements with respect to content, physical format, etc., or to reject an entity as being inappropriate to the user's needs

• Obtain

to acquire an entity through purchase, loan, etc., or to access an entity electronically through an online connection


• Group 1 Entities – Works, Expressions, Manifestations, and Items (WEMI)

• Group 2 Entities – Persons, Corporate Bodies, Families (FRAD)

• Group 3 Entities – Concept, Place, Event, Object, plus all Group 1 & 2 Entities (FRSAD)


(WEMI)

WORK

• Abstract entity

• No single material object one can point to

• Recognized through individual realizations or expressions

• Exists only in the commonality of content between and among the various expressions


Expression

• The intellectual or artistic realization of a work in the form of: – Alpha-numeric notation – Musical notation – Choreographic notation – Sound – Image – Object – Movement – Or any combination of such forms


Manifestation • Encompasses a wide range of materials

– Manuscripts

– Books

– Periodicals

– Maps

– Posters

– Sound recordings

– CD-ROMs

– Multimedia kits


Item

• Item is a concrete entity

• A single physical object (e.g., a copy of a one-volume monograph, a single audio cassette, etc.)

or:

• Can comprise more than one physical object (e.g., a monograph issued as two separately bound volumes, a recording issued on three separate compact discs, etc.).


Example


Pride and Prejudice (Work)

• Content relationships:

– Equivalence

– Derivative

– Descriptive

– Whole/part

– Part-to-part

– Shared characteristics
