The document provides an overview of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). It discusses the definition, history, objectives, conceptual model, user tasks, entities, relationships, attributes, benefits, and examples of FRBR. Key points include that FRBR relates user tasks to a conceptual entity-relationship model, defines groups of core entities and their attributes and relationships, and aims to provide a structured framework for relating bibliographic data to user needs.
This document discusses the basics of subject indexing in libraries. It defines subject indexing as providing subject access to microdocuments like journal articles and research reports by assigning appropriate subject terms. The key points covered are:
- Subject indexing allows users to identify documents on a given subject and find related documents.
- Indexes are helpful for retrieving information from both print and digital collections. They provide subject access through assigned terms.
- Effective subject indexing requires identifying the main concepts in a document and re-expressing them as index terms so the document and terms express the same concepts.
- Principles of indexing include using terminology familiar to users and bringing related documents together under consistent, unambiguous headings. Specificity and exhaustivity must

This document summarizes a presentation on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). It introduces FRBR as a conceptual model developed by IFLA to define the functional requirements of bibliographic records based on user tasks and needs. The presentation covers the basic concepts in FRBR including entities, attributes, relationships, and the three main groups of entities. It also discusses the needs FRBR addresses, benefits it provides, and its role as the foundation for the new cataloging code RDA. The overall purpose of FRBR is to improve the user experience in bibliographic databases and catalogs.
RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a new standard for describing library resources, designed to replace AACR2. Library staff, including public services, systems personnel, and catalogers, may have heard mention of RDA but not know much about it or how it will change their daily work. You may have many questions. What is RDA? We'll give a very little bit of history and theoretical background. What is this going to mean for catalogers, ILS managers, and users in the near term? What are the future implications, or, why are we doing this? What are the juicy bits of controversy in cataloger-land? And finally, Do we HAVE to? We'll talk for a while, have some activities that get you thinking, and find out your thoughts on RDA.

The document discusses Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC), the data format used by libraries to catalog and organize bibliographic information in a way that allows computers to interpret, exchange, and display it. MARC defines fields, indicators, subfields and other elements that provide a framework for bibliographic data to be recorded and processed by computers. Key points covered include what MARC stands for, the history and development of the MARC format, how MARC records are structured and some important fields like title (245) and author (100) fields.
The document provides an overview of the MARC 21 format. It discusses that MARC 21 is a standard used for the global exchange of bibliographic information between library systems. It describes the key components of a MARC record including the leader, directory, and variable fields. It also explains some of the common field tags used in MARC 21 records like the 100 tag for main author entry and 245 tag for title information.
Indexing language concept types and characteristicsDr. Utpal Das
This document discusses subject indexing languages. It defines subject indexing language as a set of controlled vocabulary terms and their relationships that are used to describe the concepts in documents. There are three main types of indexing languages: natural language, which uses terms directly from the document; controlled vocabulary, which uses standardized terms from an authority list; and free indexing language, which uses any terms. The key aspects of subject indexing languages are that they allow concepts from documents to be represented in a structured way to facilitate information retrieval.
FRBR, FRAD and RDA I don't speak cataloging why should I careDeann Trebbe
This document discusses FRBR, FRAD, and RDA. It begins with an overview of the acronyms: FRBR is the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, a conceptual model; FRAD is the Functional Requirements for Authority Data, also a conceptual model; and RDA is Resource Description and Access. It then provides more details on FRBR and FRAD, including their purposes and entities. FRBR is based on user tasks of finding, identifying, selecting, and acquiring resources. FRAD similarly maps authority data to user tasks. The document concludes that FRBR and FRAD encourage new ways of looking at bibliographic and authority data, and that like libraries, they continue to evolve.
The document discusses interoperability in digital libraries. It describes how digital libraries aim to support interoperability at three levels: data gathering, harvesting, and federation. It also discusses protocols used for interoperability such as OAI-PMH, DCMES, and LDAP. OAI-PMH allows harvesting of metadata using the OAI-PMH protocol, while DCMES defines a set of 15 elements for resource description. LDAP enables locating resources on a network.

This document provides an introduction and overview of Resource Description and Access (RDA), the new cataloging standard that replaces Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR). RDA is designed for the digital age and is based on Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD). RDA provides more flexibility and is compatible with current metadata standards and encoding formats like MARC. While RDA has some advantages, there are also ongoing considerations and discussions around its implementation.
The document discusses principles and forms of subject headings used in library catalogs, specifically those used by the Library of Congress (LC). It outlines several principles that guide the LC subject headings system, such as literary warrant, uniform headings, unique headings, specificity, consistency, and stability. It also describes different forms that main subject headings can take in the LC system, including single-concept headings expressed as single words or phrases, and multiple-concept headings using compound phrases.
Subject analysis involves determining what an item is about conceptually and translating that analysis into subject headings from a controlled vocabulary. Key aspects of subject analysis include:
1) Objectively analyzing the content of an item by examining elements like the title, table of contents, and illustrations to identify topics, names, time periods, and other concepts.
2) Distinguishing between the subject of an item (what it is about) and its form or genre.
3) Translating identified keywords and concepts into the preferred terms from a controlled vocabulary to allow for multiple access points and relationships between terms. Controlled vocabularies help compensate for complexity in language.
The document discusses different approaches to building a union catalogue, including virtual and physical models. It outlines the key aspects of achieving high recall and precision when searching catalogues, particularly for Arabic language materials. The challenges of indexing and normalizing Arabic text are also summarized. Various union catalogue models are described, including the benefits and limitations of each. The document emphasizes selecting the right model depends on the goals and needs of the specific library consortium.

FRBR stands for Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records is a conceptual entity-relationship model developed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).
A conceptual entity relationship model that relates user tasks of retrieval and access in online library catalogs and bibliographic databases from a user’s perspective.
A new conceptual model for bibliographic universe with a strong users focus .
The purpose of this entity relationship analysis was to discover the logical nature of bibliographic data in terms of entity, attributes and relationship.
This document provides a summary of a presentation about the transition from AACR to RDA (Resource Description and Access).
1) AACR has served libraries well for decades but is no longer suitable for the digital world. RDA is being developed as the new cataloguing standard to address this issue and ensure catalog data is usable online.
2) RDA is based on FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) and other conceptual models which define bibliographic entities, attributes, and relationships to improve user tasks like finding and identifying resources.
3) Early implementations of RDA show benefits like more organized displays that are easier for users to navigate compared to traditional catalogs without FRBR principles

Chris Oliver: RDA: Designed for Current and Future EnvironmentsALATechSource
RDA is a new metadata standard that replaces AACR2 and provides guidelines for recording bibliographic data to support resource discovery. It is designed to work in current catalogues and databases, as well as take advantage of new technologies through a flexible framework aligned with FRBR and FRAD models. RDA defines discrete data elements that provide precise, machine-actionable data to describe resources and their relationships.
A special session about using DC metadata to describe scholarly research papers held during the DC-2006 conference in Manzanillo, Mexico in October 2006.
This document provides an overview of a two-day training course on RDA for original catalogers. Day one will cover the background and history of RDA, FRBR concepts, authority records, and cataloging monographic materials using RDA. Day two will cover cataloging serials, audiovisual materials, online resources, and provider-neutral records using RDA, as well as relationships. The document outlines the course, provides context on the development and testing of RDA, and previews some of the key changes and concepts in RDA compared to AACR2.
Authority control aims to establish consistent forms of access points like names, subjects, and titles in bibliographic records. It enhances access by bringing together variant forms under a single authorized heading. Authority control relies on authority records, which include the standardized heading, cross references from variants to the authorized form, and notes. It structures access points in the catalog to allow related works to be retrieved together. Without authority control, searches could return many inconsistent variants of the same access point. Authority control improves search performance by facilitating more precise and complete retrieval of related works and information on a topic.
The document summarizes a presentation on developing an application profile for the metadata schema for ePrints institutional repositories. It discusses the background and rationale for developing a richer metadata profile than Dublin Core to allow for aggregation of metadata from repositories. It outlines the functional requirements identified, including supporting complex objects, versions, and additional search/browse fields. It then describes the entity-relationship model developed, which is based on the FRBR model to describe the relationships between scholarly works, expressions, formats, and copies.
FRBR provides a conceptual model for understanding the bibliographic universe through four main entities - work, expression, manifestation, and item. It defines their attributes and relationships to help users find, identify, select, and obtain bibliographic resources. FRBR is influencing revisions to cataloging rules and standards to better represent these conceptual distinctions and relationships in bibliographic records and systems.
Faceted classification involves breaking down subjects into their component parts or facets. Each facet represents a category or attribute of the subject. Individual items are then described by assigning them values or terms within each facet. Some key advantages of faceted classification include allowing retrieval based on multiple attributes of a subject and combining hierarchical browsing with searching. However, it requires significant effort to define an appropriate set of facets and apply metadata to items. Guidelines for developing faceted classifications involve studying the domain, listing terms, creating mutually exclusive facets, arranging facets and terms, and revising the system based on testing.
This is intended to be a two day workshop on RDA. This workshop will explore RDA with a specific focus on theories, practicalities, authority work and hands on cataloging. The workshop will take the student through understanding the theories behind RDA and then cataloging by RDA standards.

This document summarizes the literature on managing enabling contexts for knowledge creation in organizations. It conducted a comprehensive literature review of 135 papers, 4 dissertations, and 4 books on the concepts of "ba" and enabling contexts/conditions. The review identified 4 categories of enabling conditions through content and citation analysis: social/behavioral, cognitive/epistemic, information systems/management, and strategy/structural. These conditions relate to the type of knowledge process and level of interaction needed. The review concludes that managing knowledge effectively in organizations requires creating an environment that encourages knowledge creation, sharing and use, as guided by the enabling conditions identified from over a decade of research.
The document summarizes the structure and content of the new cataloging standard Resource Description and Access (RDA). It discusses how RDA was influenced by other standards like FRBR and FRAD and aims to support both current and future database structures. The document outlines that RDA has two main parts - recording attributes and recording relationships. It describes the 10 sections of RDA which cover attributes of different entities and relationships between entities. The document provides details on the sections regarding recording attributes of manifestations, works, persons, and placeholders for other entities. It also explains how RDA will record relationships using access points, identifiers, and relationship designators.
This document introduces RDA, the new metadata standard that replaces AACR2. It discusses the transition from AACR2 to RDA, highlighting some of the key differences in their theoretical frameworks and concepts. RDA is based on FRBR and FRAD conceptual models that view bibliographic data in terms of entities, attributes, and relationships. It also has new objectives and principles like a focus on user needs and representing resources as they present themselves.
The document discusses the reference interview process and searching databases. It describes the reference interview as involving understanding a user's information needs through communication and questioning techniques. Effective communication involves both content and relationship aspects. When searching databases, the document outlines strategies like controlled vocabulary, boolean logic, truncation and proximity operators to effectively search and retrieve relevant information.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. FRBR
● Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
● In 1990s IFLA Cataloguing Section formed a group to study functional requirements that was
needed for bibliographic records.
● In 1998 final report titled “Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records:Final Report”
was approved by IFLA Standing Committee on Cataloguing.
● Report has 3 parts
○ Description of the model
○ National level bibliographic record for all materials
○ User tasks
● Aim
○ Structure a framework for data in bibliographic records to be mapped to the user needs
○ Recommend a functionality for records created by national bibliographic agencies
4. Entities,attributes and relationships
● FRBR follows an entity relationship model.
○ It contains
■ Entities
■ Attributes or characteristics
■ Relationships between entities
5. Part 1: Entities
Group 1
Work
Expression
Manifestation
Item
Group 3
Concepts
Objects
Events
Places
Group 1
Group 2
Group 2
Person
Corporate body
6. Group 1
Work : intellectual or artistic creation (eg: when you ask who wrote the book)
Expression : realization of the work in the form of text, numericals,musical, sound etc
Manifestation : physical embodiment of the expression
Item : single occurence of the manifestation
Note: Work and expression denote the artistic content of the work. Manifestation and item
describes the physical form.
7. Work Expression
Manifestation

Double arrow represents that work can be
realised through multiple expressions
Single arrow represents that
expression can be realised
through one and only one
work.
9. Group 2
Entities responsible for the intellectual or artistic content, the physical production and dissemination, or the
custodians of the entities in the first group
Person : individual author or a group of authors
Corporate body: organisation or a collective effort of multiple organisation
Related to the group 1 by the relations:
● (Item) Is owned by
● (Manifestation) is produced by
● (Expression) is realized by
● (Work) is created by
} Person or Corporate Body
10. Group 3
Group 3 entities: Concepts, Objects, Events, Places, Group 1 and Group 2 can be the subject of the
work
Source: https://www.loc.gov/cds/downloads/FRBR.PDF
11. Part 2: Attributes
● Attributes are characteristics used to distinguish the entities.
● It is through attributes that the user tasks (discussed later) proceed.
12. Part 3: Bibliographic Relationships
Apart from the internal relations among the entities, there are other relations:
● Content relationships
○ Equivalent relations - same intellectual content (work, in terms of FRBR)
○ Derivative relations - new expressions (translations, modified etc)
○ Descriptive relations - new work describing the original work (review, criticism etc)
● Whole/part and Part to Part relation
○ Sequential - eg: Harry Potter 1 to Harry Potter 7
○ Accompanying - eg: materials with a C.D or table
○ Companion - eg: material referring to other materials
13. User task
● Defined user tasks (FRBR) as follow :
○ Find : to find entities, through attributes or relationships, that corresponds to the query
○ Identify : to distinguish and confirm what was found
○ Select : to select the content with respect to content, format etc
○ Obtain : to obtain access to entity through purchase, loan etc
14. Assignment 1
Now that you know what is FRBR, write a short note about the impact of FRBR on
cataloguing rules.
Assignment 2
Write 3 examples of Group 1 entities of FRBR

15. FRAD
● Functional Requirements for Authority Data
● Entity - relationship model
● Introduced as an expansion of FRBR in 2004
16. Purpose
● Provide a framework for the analysis of requirements for the authority data that is
required to support authority control
● International sharing of authority data.
● Mapping the authority record in the library to various user tasks
19. Definitions -Name
● A word or group of words by which an entity is known.
● Includes names by which persons, families, and corporate bodies are known.
● Includes titles by which works, expressions, and manifestations are known.
● Includes names and terms by which concepts, objects, events, and places are known.
● Includes real names, pseudonyms, religious names, initials, and separate letters,
numerals, or symbols.
20. Definitions -Identifiers
● A number, code, word, phrase, logo, device, etc., that is associated with an entity, and serves to differentiate
that entity from other entities within the domain in which the identifier is assigned.
● Includes identifiers such as social insurance numbers assigned by a government authority.
● Includes personal identifiers assigned by other registration authorities.
● Includes business registration numbers, registration numbers for charitable organizations, etc., assigned by a
government authority.
21. Definitions -Controlled Access Points
● A name, term, code, etc., under which a bibliographic or authority record or reference
will be found.
● Includes access points based on personal, family, and corporate names.
● Includes access points based on titles (i.e., names) for works, expressions,
manifestations, and items.
● Includes access points consisting of a combination of two access points, as in the case
of a creator/title access point.
22. Definitions -Rules and Agency
● Rules - A set of instructions relating to the formulation and/or recording of controlled
access points.
● Agency - An organization responsible for creating or modifying a controlled access
point. The agency is responsible for application and interpretation of the rules it
creates and/or uses.
23. Attributes
● The attributes as explained in the FRAD is derived from various sources such as
○ FRBR
○ Guidelines for Authority Records and References (GARR)
○ UNIMARC Manual – Authorities Format5
○ Mandatory Data Elements for Internationally Shared Resource Authority Records (MLAR)
○ International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families
(ISAAR(CPF)).
24. Authority Relationships
● Four broad categories of relationships reflected in authority data.
● The first category comprises the relationships that operate at a generic level between the entity types.
● The second and third categories comprise relationships commonly reflected in the reference structure of the
authority record (i.e., in the references themselves, in information notes, instruction phrases, or cataloguer’s
notes).
○ The first of those categories comprises relationships between specific instances of the entities person,
family, corporate body, and work.
○ The second comprises relationships between a specific instance of the entity person, family, corporate
body, or work, on the one hand, and a specific name by which the entity is known.
● The fourth category comprises the relationships between specific instances of the entity controlled access
point reflected in the linking structures embedded in authority records.
25. User Task-Users
● The users of authority data are broadly defined to include:
○ authority data creators who create and maintain authority data;
○ users who use authority information through direct access to authority data or indirectly through the
controlled access points (authorized forms of name, variant forms of name/references, etc.) in
catalogues, national bibliographies, other similar databases, etc.
26. User Task-Tasks
● Find - Find an entity or set of entities corresponding to stated criteria or to explore the universe of
bibliographic entities using those attributes and relationships.
● Identify - Identify an entity (i.e., to confirm that the entity represented corresponds to the entity sought, to
distinguish between two or more entities with similar characteristics) or to validate the form of name to be
used for a controlled access point.
● Contextualize - Place a person, corporate body, work, etc., in context; clarify the relationship between two or
more persons, corporate bodies, works, etc.; or clarify the relationship between a person, corporate body, etc.,
and a name by which that person, corporate body, etc., is known (e.g., name used in religion versus secular
name).
● Justify - Document the authority data creator’s reason for choosing the name or form of name on which a
controlled access point is based.
