In 1998, the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model which is composed by four entities (work, expression, manifestation and item) and their associative relationships ( primary, responsibility and subject ) , was proposed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). The FRBR model can be deployed as a logical framework for proceeding me...

A Conceptual Model Based on User Needs FRBR, the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, is a conceptual model, establishing the purposes, uses, and requirements for bibliographic records. FRBR sets out “a clearly defined, structured framework for relating the data that are recorded in bibliographic records to the needs of the users of those records.” We need such a framework because...

مقولات ابزار ذهن ما برای شناخت حقایق اطراف است. بشر اشیای خارجی یا مفاهیم ناظر به آن‌ها را ذیل یکی از قرار داده است و فهم می‌کند. اما میزان صدق بر تمام واقعیات هستی هنوز درستی مشخص نیست. آنچه در آرای برخی فلاسفة مشاء دیده می‌شود‌این که پیرو آن انواعی آنها‌ایجاد می‌شود نقش تعیین کننده تعین نوعی موجودات دارند صرفاً طبقه بندی انسان نیستند. در‌این میان ملاصدرا دیدگاه متفاوتی آراء خود نشان می‌دهد محد...

Purpose: This study aimed to provide some insight into mental models of the bibliographic universe and how they compare with FRBR as a conceptual model of the bibliographic universe. Design/methodology/approach: To get a more complete picture of the mental models, different elicitation techniques were used. The three tasks of this study were: card sorting, concept mapping and comparison task. T...

We report findings from experiments with IFLA’s Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) as applied to the domain of science fiction (Abbott’s Flatland) in the OCLC’s WorldCat. The objective is to gauge the characteristics of bibliographic entities under study, to examine the types of relationships these entities exhibit, and to collocate bibliographic entities according to the ...

Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) conceptual model is beginning to gain recognition. This paper presents FRBR including possibilities and limitations of current standards and practices in terms of expressing the FRBR model. It is claimed that national bibliographies should benefit the most from FRBR, as they contain large quantities of high quality bibliographic data on m...

The FRBR [Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records], released by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions in 1998, generalizes and refines current practices and theory in library cataloging, presenting a compelling natural ontology of entities, attributes, and relationships for representing the “bibliographic universe”. The FRBR framework is extremely influ...

Center's (OCLC) WorldCat. The goal of the study is to gauge the characteristics of bibliographic entities under study, to examine types of relationships these entities exhibit, and to collocate bibliographic entities according to the FRBR group 1 hierarchy of entities identified as works, expressions, manifestations, and items. The study's findings show that by assembling bibliographic records ...

This paper outlines the adaptation of IFLA's Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) for development of a metadata scheme to represent palm leaf manuscripts (PLMs) and facilitate their retrieval in digital collections. The FRBR model uses a structured, four-level hierarchy to represent an intellectual work with multiple titles, editions or formats. Because FRBR focuses on repre...
