FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records prepared by Janess Stewart and Charlotte Strettton for the Te Puna Libraries Forum 2011
What is FRBR? • Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records • Developed by IFLA study group • A conceptual model of the bibliographic universe • Uses entity-relationship modelling • Intended to be independent of any cataloguing code or implemenatation
Concepts presented in FRBR report • User tasks • Entities – “things” • Attributes – used to describe Entities • Relationships – between Entities
User tasks • FIND entities that correspond to the user’s search criteria • IDENTIFY the entity • SELECT an entity from the resulting group appropriate to the user’s need • OBTAIN the selected entity
FRBR entities - 1 Group 1: products of intellectual and artistic endeavour • Work • Expression • Manifestation • Item
FRBR entities - 2 Group 2: Those responsible for the intellectual and artistic content • Person • Corporate body • Family
FRBR entities - 3 Group 3: Subjects of works • Concept • Object • Event • Place • Groups 1 and 2
I have lost my book We should order that book I’d like to read that book in English That movie is based on my favourite book Taken from Pat Riva’s presentation “IFLA’s Conceptual models and RDA”, 2010 Item Manifestation Expression Work Terminology is important
Group 1 entities Time for a closer look...
Work • Distinct creations • Abstract • Can be revised, updated, translated, illustrated & still be the same Work • BUT if adapted, paraphrased, transformed (e.g. turned into a movie) then it is a new Work
Expression • Abstract • Conveys the form in which the Work will be made real (e.g. text in English, musical sound, moving image, musical notation, sound in French, map on paper) • Changing the form of the content changes the Expression (e.g. text in English changed to text in French)
Manifestation • Physical embodiment of an Expression of a Work • All copies produced together • Current catalogue records describe Manifestations • Changes in production/publication result in new Manifestations (e.g. new publisher or print and PDF versions)
Item • Any single copy of a Manifestation • Libraries issue Items to their users • Items can be distinguished by physical differences
Exercise 1 • Look at what is in your box, as well as any copies of “Pride and prejudice” you have brought with you • Sort this material into piles representing Works
Exercise 2 • Look at the pile that represents the BBC television programme • Decide what Expressions you have and give reasons for your decision
Exercise 3 • Look at the pile that represents the novel “Pride and prejudice” as created by Jane Austen • Decide what Expressions you have and give reasons for your decision
Exercise 4 • Look at all the material on your table • Sort it into Manifestations
Exercise 5 • Look at all of the material you have on your table • Identify ways in which Items could be differentiated
Why is this useful? • FISO • Focus on community served • Allows flexibility • Allows material to be grouped at different levels
Relationships Work Expression is realised through Manifestation is embodied in Item is exemplified by
Relationships - Group 1 to Group 2 created by creator of Clipart courtesy FCIT Pride and prejudice (the work) Jane Austen (the person)
