COBISS.SI-ID: 47578466
With the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model the library community has been introduced to a new conceptual framework for bibliographic data. On one hand, the model builds upon current bibliographic standards and practice, but on the other hand it represents a dramatic change: as it is a model for bibliographic information expressed as entities and relationships. Alignment of the UNIMARC standard with FRBR is important to facilitate the implementation of the model in library systems, the exchange of bibliographic data based on the FRBR model, and the reuse of UNIMARC data as machine-interpretable information for a broad range of semantic-aware applications. In this paper we analyze the capability of UNIMARC to code simple and complex FRBR structures, and discuss different alternatives for coding these and attempt to identify the most appropriate solution.
