7. Access Points Defined within Bib-2  Duration  Format/Structure  Geographic Referent  Content Authorities  Semantic Qualifiers  Map Scale

8. Values  References to externally-maintained lists of values for  Content Authorities for Subjects, Languages  Functional Qualifiers for Names  RECOMMENDATION:  External maintenance of authoritative lists, e.g.,  LC for MARC Relators, Sources, Description Convention Codes  ISO 639

9. Examples  Descriptive, not prescriptive  Not full queries, but segments of queries that illustrate the possible use of a bib-2 style query

10. Examples: Descriptive, Not Prescriptive  To search for papers from a conference held in Belgium  Access point = Geographic Referent  Comparison [Utility Set] = Equals  Content Authority = USMARC Code List for Geographic Areas  Semantic Qualifier = place of event  Term = e-be

11. Examples  Descriptive, not prescriptive  Not full queries, but segments of queries that illustrate the possible use of a bib-2 style query  RECOMMENDATION:  Provide examples of complete bibliographic queries,  using new Attribute Architecture  illustrating use of multiple attribute sets  Provide Bib-2 searches to Bath Profile

12. Issues  MARC21-centric  add other MARC format citations (e.g., UNIMARC, DANMARC)  Identifiers: Numbers or Strings?  Complexity  Manageable when filtered through a library profile  Will it ever be used?  Develop new “Bib-2” functional area for Bath  Strategies for migration from Bib-1 to Bib-2
