Maximizing Metadata and Grouping of Editions and Formats

This presentation provides an overview of xID web services, focusing on xISBN, xOCLCnum, and xISSN, and how they facilitate FRBR grouping of editions and formats. The presentation discusses the problem of finding and linking to alternate versions of works and explains how the FRBR model helps analyze different versions. It also explores the features and capabilities of xISBN, xOCLCnum, and xISSN, including work grouping, coverage of non-ISBN items, and title history tools.

  10. What is the problem? In manycontexts, we want to find or link to or describe alternate versions of something:

  11. What is the problem? In manycontexts, we want to find or link to or describe alternate versions of something: • any editionof Hamlet • a copy of Bloom’s Critical Edition • the 1972 paperback • my copyof that

  12. What is the problem? 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

  13. What is the problem? 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 FRBR model

  14. xISBN xISBN addresses part of this problem: “work grouping” of manifestations, i.e. all editions.

  15. xISBN xISBN addresses part of this problem: “work grouping” of manifestations, i.e. all editions.

  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

  18. 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. • It can also return other identifiers for these, such as OCLCnums and LCCNs. 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.
