FRBR 20 years on Karen Coyle Rome, Feb. 2014
FRBR Timeline • 1990 – Stockholm meeting • 1992 – Terms of reference completed • 1994? – First draft for comment • 1998 – Final draft • 2009 – Current draft
Stated goals • Develop a framework for understanding purposes of the bibliographic record • Recommend basic level of functionality for national library bibliographic records • Develop core-level standard to reduce cataloging costs • Ensure that records meet user needs
Leading up to FRBR The rise of the work in the 20th century
Levels of bibliographic abstraction • Collocation of works (Lubetzky) • Expansion of catalogs to the “2nd kind of power” (Wilson) • Addition of the work to cataloging with uniform titles in AACR
Bibliographic relationships Tillett’s doctoral dissertation and life’s work
Bibliographic Families (Wilson) NY 1971 NY 1969 NY 1970 NY 1969 “The Studhorse Man” as a Wilsonian family TO 1969 Ont 1973 Ont 1977 Ont 1982 Ont 1988 Smiraglia, 2001 LO 1969 Fr Trans 1985 Fr Trans 1990 “A library is a growing organism” S.R. Ranganathan
E-R model • Required methodology in Terms of Reference document, 1992 • Derived from database design methodology • Identify entities • Explore relationships • Define attributes “FRBR is not a data model. FRBR is not a metadata scheme. FRBR is not a system design structure. It is a conceptual model of the bibliographic universe.” B. Tillett, 2005
E-R modeling for database design • Conceptual model • main entities and relationships, macro level; not actionable; independent of technology • Logical model • adds detail; resolves links; defines values; normalizes; operational in terms of applications • Physical model • describes a database, with tables, keys, normalized data; responsive to applications.
Results • 142 pages of text • 3 diagrams
Alternate models • Event-driven models • Content-emphasizing models • Models that categorize more than describe • FRBRCore and the linked data cloud
actors and actions • In music, expression often a performance by someone other than creator • Manifestation is usually the action of a third party (except in fine art)
FRBRoo CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model by International Council of Museums
FRBRoo • Object-oriented model • Coordinates CRM & FRBR concepts • Multiple layers of works and expressions • Published and non-published works
content and carrier variations
Expression-Level Bibliographic Record Shoichi Taniguchi content carrier
classes and categorization Semantic Publishing and Referencing SPAR Publishing materials, mostly texts, in the academic environment
FaBiO, the FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology • treats WEMI as classes • sub-classes bibliographic types to W E M • Manifestation is physical description only
Work sub-classes announcement, artistic work, biography, case for support, correction, critical edition, dataset, essay, examination paper, grant application, image, instructional work, metadata, model, opinion, policy, proposition, questionnaire, reference work, reply, report, research paper, review, sound recording, specification, vocabulary, work collection, work package, working paper Expression sub-classes Gantt chart, abstract, addendum, article, audio document, book, brief report, call for applications, case for support document, chapter, comment, computer program, conference paper, conference poster, cover, data file, data management plan, database, dust jacket, e-mail, editorial, excerpt, expression collection, figure, grant application document, index, instruction manual, lecture notes, letter, manuscript, metadata document, movie, news item, oration, patent application document, patent document, periodical issue, periodical volume, personal communication, policy document, presentation, project plan, quotation, rapid communication, report document, repository, spreadsheet, structured summary, supplement, supplementary information file, table, vocabulary document, vocabulary mapping document, web content, workshop paper Manifestation sub-classes analog manifestation, digital manifestation, manifestation collection

FRBRCore (in RDF) • Developed by Ian Davis and Richard Newman in 2005 • Not sanctioned by IFLA • Used by FaBiO, Scholarly Works Application Profile (SWAP), Europeana Data Model, and others • Over 30 million uses on LOD Cloud (mostly German libraries)
BIBFRAME Two-level bibliographic model bf:Work = frbr:Work+frbr:Expression bf:Instance = frbr:Manifestation
RDA • Rules organized around FRBR concepts • Record and data store neutral • ….
Summary • a conceptual model, to be interpreted and integrated • a network, not a tree • actors and actions • separation of content and carrier • the need for flexibility
