“…Examining reports on frbrisation attempts (e.g. O'Neill, 2007;Hickey et al, 2002;Aalberg, 2002;Babeu, 2008;McGrath and Bisko, 2008;Aalberg et al, 2011), we can see similar problems generally deriving from two main classes of errors as distinguished by Mönch and Aalberg (2003): first, inconsistencyidentical information might be represented differently in different records, and second, incompletenessinformation that is required to identify an entity or a relationship defined in the FRBR model is not present in the record. Issues with frbrisation have limited not only the application of FRBR ideas in existing research, but also the exploration into how the full potential of the new framework could be employed to create richer services and user interface design.…”

Purpose – Despite the importance of bibliographic information systems for discovering and exploring library resources, some of the core functionality that should be provided to support users in their information seeking process is still missing. Investigating these issues, the purpose of this paper is to design a solution that would fulfil the missing objectives. Design/methodology/approach – Building on the concepts of a work family, functional requirements for bibliographic records (FRBR) and information visualization, the paper proposes a model and user interface design that could support a more efficient and user-friendly presentation and navigation in bibliographic information systems. Findings – The proposed design brings together all versions of a work, related works, and other works by and about the author and shows how the model was implemented into a FrbrVis prototype system using hierarchical visualization layout. Research limitations/implications – Although issues related to discovery and exploration apply to various material types, the research first focused on works of fiction and was also limited by the selected sample of records. Practical implications – The model for presenting and interacting with FRBR-based data can serve as a good starting point for future developments and implementations. Originality/value – With FRBR concepts being gradually integrated into cataloguing rules, formats, and various bibliographic services, one of the important questions that has not really been investigated and studied is how the new type of data would be presented to users in a way that would exploit the true potential of the changes.

“…For example, users want to be able to search for movies produced in a specific year or filmed in a specific country. 78 These are work elements. If a DVD of the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz was released in 2012, a user would be more likely to find it searching for a work from 1939 than an instance from 2012.…”

The Bibliographic Work: History, Theory, and Practice

The bibliographic work has assumed a great deal of importance in modern cataloging. But the concept of the work has existed for over a century, and even some of the earliest catalog codes differentiate between the intellectual work and its instances. This article will delve into the history and theory of the work, providing a basic overview of the concept as well as a summary of the myriad uses of the work throughout the history of cataloging. In addition to monographs, this paper will look at the work as applied to music, moving images, serials, and aggregates.

“…Other common usages of added entries are to include additional persons such as translators and illustrators. The type of relationship between a person or corporate body and a resource is indicated by the use of relator codes or terms [34], but the actual use of relator codes greatly varies depending on the local cataloging policy and practice. The titles found as added entries may identify work and expression entities that are related to the cataloged item in different ways such as the novel upon which a movie is based.…”

FRBR-ML: A FRBR-based framework for semantic interoperability

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Metadata related to cultural items such as literature, music and movies is a valuable resource that is currently exploited in many applications and services based on semantic web technologies. A vast amount of such information has been created by memory institutions in the last decades using different standard or ad hoc schemas, and a main challenge is to make this legacy data accessible as reusable semantic data. On one hand, this is a syntactic problem that can be solved by transforming to formats that are compatible with the tools and services used for semantic aware services. On the other hand, this is a semantic problem. Simply transforming from one format to another does not automatically enable semantic interoperability and legacy data often needs to be reinterpreted as well as transformed. The conceptual model in the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, initially developed as a conceptual framework for library standards and systems, is a major step towards a shared semantic model of the products of artistic and intellectual endeavor of mankind. The model is generally accepted as sufficiently generic to serve as a conceptual framework for a broad range of cultural heritage metadata. Unfortunately, the existing large body of legacy data makes a transition to this model difficult. For instance, most bibliographic data is still only available in various MARC-based formats which is hard to render into reusable and meaningful semantic data. Making legacy bibliographic data accessible as semantic data is a complex problem that includes interpreting and transforming the information. In this article, we present our work on transforming and enhancing legacy bibliographic information into a representation where the structure and semantics of the FRBR model is explicit.
