Description
Practical FRBR considerations

The presentation will give a basic introduction to FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), and even shortly mention the draft FRAD (Functional Requirements for Authority Data), both conceptual models from IFLA.

He will also try to move from the theory to a survey of practical experience gained the last 10 years, covering issues as:
  • What does it mean to FRBRize?
  • Different strategies and implementation models
  • Is FRBR for cataloguers, end-users or computer specialists?
  • Is FRBRizing always a wise thing to do?
  • Examples from the real world – tools and services


The presentation will be in English.
