“…FRBR-based interfaces are designed to be responsive, adapting to different devices and screen sizes to ensure a consistent and user-friendly experience. In addition, users can locate similar papers they require by searching and locating (Salaba & Merčun, 2020). It also shows that users completely comprehend the hierarchical linkages, but further study is needed to understand users' enjoyment of networked methods of visualising bibliographic families.…”

This study explores the potential of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model as a tool for information visualisation in bibliographic control. This research aims to investigate how FRBR can be employed to enhance the visualisation of bibliographic data, examine the impact of FRBR on information organisation and retrieval, and identify and analyse the challenges associated with FRBR implementation. The researchers applied thematic analysis, where the study has three main phases. The process started with designing the review and then conducting the review. Lastly, analyse and organise the review. The analysis of the study is gained through reviewing existing literature through thematic analysis; thus, three main aspects, which contain four themes, have been presented within the study. It is important to note that the study makes a significant contribution as it focuses on library interface interaction along with the stress on relationships of entities between static and interactive bibliographic records.

“…However, changes in the design of bibliographic information systems, including library catalogues, have not been as significant as expected. Salaba and Merčun (2018) review the literature on the impact of the FRBR conceptual model in representing bibliographic data as well as in relation to the investigations on bibliographic information visualisation, appreciating some experimental attempts and some actual implementations of FRBR. However, the implementation of the FRBR-visual prototype demonstrates how semantic relationships among bibliographic entities could be organised and different expressions of the same work could be presented (Merčun et al, 2016(Merčun et al, , 2017.…”

PurposeThis study seeks to understand the current state of the development of linked open data (LOD) bibliographic portals to discuss their functionalities, contributions, value-adds and user experience.Design/methodology/approachA set of evaluative aspects grouped into three analysis dimensions was established: collections, tools—technologies and standards used—and web user interface. As the object of the study, four projects of diverse nature and volume were selected to help provide a better understanding of the trends in the solutions provided for the end user when accessing linked data collections.FindingsPublishing LOD through visual interfaces maximises information enrichment, contextualisation and discovery, in addition to improving user experience, because of both increased navigation capabilities and interrelationships between data. These more flexible environments have metamorphosised the visualisation of bibliographic information. However, aspects that needed improvement were observed, primarily relating to (1) a more intuitive interaction, (2) possibilities of greater personalisation, (3) enhanced communication with the user to favour user engagement and (4) experimental spaces of data reuse.Research limitations/implicationsFurther quantitative and qualitative studies should be conducted to improve these portals, assess their adaptation to the behaviour of the user and their influence on the use of library collections.Originality/valueThis article investigates the potential of semantic technologies in bibliographic data portals, proposes a methodological model for their evaluation and advances conclusions about the usability and user experience that these platforms provide, compared to classic catalogues.

Users' perception of navigating bibliographic families from IFLA-LRM perspective

PurposeThis paper focuses on the way users navigate bibliographic families not only when a user has no specific document in mind but also when he/she has a specific predefined need in mind.Design/methodology/approachTo this end, the Epic of Kings was selected as a test-bed for the study and both situations were studied based on International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions-Library Reference Model (IFLA-LRM), but the potential users (participants of this study) were not directly exposed to the entities of the model. Card sorting, interview and distributing questionnaire constituted the data-gathering process.FindingsAlmost all of the participants in this study, when they had no specific resource in mind, generated a top-down view of the family, and in this view, all of them disregarded the item entity and lots of them disregarded the manifestations also. Yet on the other side, when they were asked to assume themselves in certain situations (in need of a specific work with a predefined expression and format), they viewed the bibliographic family from a bottom-up approach.Originality/valueMost of the studies in this area regard the navigation process of users as a top-down approach and the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) family as a model suitable for hierarchical top-down visualization of bibliographic families. Yet this study poses the bottom-up approach of users regarding the family.
