12. BIBFRAME
“BIBFRAME Initiative is the foundation for the
future of bibliographic description that happens
on the web and in the networked world. It is
designed to integrate with and engage in the
wider information community and still serve the
very specific needs of libraries.”

• Differentiates between conceptual content and
its physical or digital representation(s)
(object(s))
• Vocabularies
– 1.0 (2012)
– 2.0 (2016) – replaces 1.0
• Classes (entities), properties, and relationships
