3
OCLC Online Computer Library Center FRBR basics FRBR = Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records Work done under the auspices of IFLA Uses an entity-attribute approach to provide a conceptual model of the bibliographic universe Provides a clearly defined, structured framework for relating bibliographic data to user needs
4
OCLC Online Computer Library Center Four User Tasks: Find entities that match the search criteria Identify entities (confirm that the user has found what they were looking for) Select an entity that matches the users criteria Obtain access to the entity through purchase, loan, or through electronic remote access And, maybe a fifth: Navigate
5
OCLC Online Computer Library Center FRBR defines 3 groups of entities Group 1: products of intellectual or artistic endeavor that are named of described in bibliographic records work, expression, manifestation, item Group 2: entities responsible for the intellectual or artistic content, the physical production and dissemination, or the custodianship of such products person, corporate body Group 3: entities that serve as the subjects of intellectual or artistic endeavor concept, object, event, place

OCLC Online Computer Library Center The FRBR model is revolutionary. The (computer) catalogue is not seen as a sequence of bibliographic records and a replica of the traditional card catalogue, but rather as a network of connected data, enabling the user to perform seamlessly all the necessary functions. -Dr. Maja Žumer. National and University Library, Ljubljana, Slovenia
10
OCLC Online Computer Library Center Applying FRBR in services Incorporating the concepts of the FRBR model in systems: Superior presentation of search results Esp. in large files – more intuitive clustering May help streamline library cataloging Reduces repeated keying of work-related info Bibliographic & management intelligence New insights into works (e.g., OCLCs 1000 list)OCLCs 1000 list Libraries can operate at workset level (e.g., ILL)
