  3. Utility Set Attributes Used in Bib-2 • Access Point (1) • Semantic Qualifier (2) • Language (3) • Content Authority (4) • Expansion/Interpretation (5) • Comparison (8) • Format/Structure (9) • Occurrence (10) • Functional Qualifier (12)

  4. Bib-2 Values assigned to Utility Set Attributes • Access Point (1) • Semantic Qualifier (2) • Content Authority (4) • Format/Structure (9) • (but none defined in Utility Set) • Functional Qualifier (12)

  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
