FRBR model: Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item The FRBR model helps us analyze the types of version: Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item. • For example: • any edition of Hamlet • a copy of Bloom’s edition • a paperback of that • my paperback of that • These correspond to the four entities in the FRBR model: • Work: Hamlet • Expression: Bloom’s Edition • Manifestation: paperback • Item: my copy • any editionof Hamlet • a copy of Bloom’s Critical Edition • the 1972 paperback • my copyof that

  16. xISBN xISBN addresses part of this problem: “work grouping” of manifestations, i.e. all editions. • You give xISBN a manifestation identifier (ISBN) representing, say, 1972 hardback of Bloom’s Critical Edition of Hamlet. 0393956636

  17. xISBN xISBN addresses part of this problem: “work grouping” of manifestations, i.e. all editions. • You give xISBN a manifestation identifier (ISBN) representing, say, 1972 hardback of Bloom’s Critical Edition of Hamlet. • It returns all other ISBNs we know about that represent other manifestations of Hamlet, i.e. are the same work. 0393956636

  19. xOCLCnum like xISBN, but for all of WorldCat xOCLCnum can find any item we know about, not just those with ISBNs.

  20. xOCLCnum like xISBN, but for all of WorldCat xOCLCnum can find any item we know about, not just those with ISBNs.

  21. xOCLCnum like xISBN, but for all of WorldCat xOCLCnum can find any item we know about, not just those with ISBNs. coverage extended to non-ISBN items

  22. xOCLCnum like xISBN, but for all of WorldCat xOCLCnum can find any item we know about, not just those with ISBNs. • query with OCLCnum or LCCN • get back OCLCnums, ISBNs, or LCCNs • ~100 million listings, vs. 20 million in xISBN • FRBR grouping same as WorldCat.org coverage extended to non-ISBN items

  23. xISSN for serials xISSN relates alternate editions of serials. somewhat like xISBN work-grouping: • Alternate formats: e.g. print/electronic • Predecessor, successor relationships • Title merges, splits • also, returns serials metadata

  24. xISSN – Title History tool

  25. xISSN – Title History tool uses xISSN to build a complete title history, showing formats, name changes, etc.
