“…To accomplish that, it uses a template for each MARC format containing the FRBRization rules defined in a XML document. The first version of the template was based on the FRBRizer tool developed by Maja Žumer and Trond Aalberg [3]. The current version was completely rebuilt allowing the declaration of more complex rules, specific rules for the language of attributes, the declaration of text scripts and patterns, definition of template functions, etc.…”

“…Transforming from a list of isolated MARC records into a graphlike structure (as we can understand the FRBR model) is not an easy task [3]. Besides the fact that the FRBR model is semantically richer than the traditional MARC model, we also have practical challenges due to possible different names used to refer to the same entities (due to the use of different languages or alternative names) or with slight deviations (misspellings, different use of punctuation, etc.).…”

This paper addresses the problem of using the FRBR model to support the presentation of results. It describes a service implementing new algorithms and techniques for transforming existing MARC records into the FRBR model for this specific purpose. This work was developed in the context of the TELPlus project and processed 100,000 bibliographic and authority records from multilingual catalogs of 12 European countries.

“…Following this work, other efforts tried to take FRBRization a little bit further by allowing clustering of all entities of the FRBR model. An example is the BibSys FRBR conversion tool, reported at [3] [4], which actually builds a FRBR structure from bibliographic records and tries to cluster all entities of that structure by comparing their keys (combination of properties found in a FRBR entity). In spite of all these efforts, authors further explain that "algorithms for eliciting FRBR structure" will only work as well as the bibliographic data on which they are based [6], and in national bibliographies data heterogeneity and data quality problems are clearly present.…”

Using national bibliographies for rights clearance

In the process of digitizing a book, a library needs to clear the rights associated with it. Rights clearance is a time consuming process, and possibly, with higher costs than the actual digitization. To analyze the rights situation, a range of information is required, which is distributed across several national databases hosted in national libraries, publishers and collective rights organizations. National bibliographies are key data sources in these processes, as they are the only source to identify all the publications of a specific intellectual work per country. However, national bibliographies are not built for rights clearance purposes. The information in bibliographic records results from cataloguing practices with users and library management in mind, and links between different publications of a single intellectual work are not available. This paper presents a study on the implications of data quality problems of national bibliographies for the identification of all publications of a work. It also presents an approach for work data extraction and matching based on similarity of the most discriminatory attributes of works. Evaluation has shown that the data quality problems are difficult to overcome, as our best approach achieved an F 0,5 -measure of 0,91. These results help to speed up the process of discovering all relevant publications per work significantly, with sufficient recall.

“…The existence of Uniform titles plays a key role for the effectiveness of the procedure as the Uniform Title fields are the only clue, contained in MARC records, which is close to the notion of a Work. An important issue is that "MARC records have a structure that is tailored to publications that contain a single work/expression" [19]. An additional issue is that even in the cases where the entities could be identified "the more difficult part of the process is to determine the relationships between the entities that are identified" [ibid.…”

Conceptualizations of the Cataloging Object: A Critique on Current Perceptions of FRBR Group 1 Entities

SUMMARY. Libraries face a double challenge in the digital age: both the describing framework and the describing object are under change. FRBR attempts to generate a coherent theory and yield a new Paradigm of cataloging. This study deploys current conceptualizations of the FRBR Group 1 entities within the FRBR models family with a view to semantic interoperability. FRBR cannot be considered as simple metadata describing a specific resource but more like some kind of knowledge related to the resource. This study reveals that there are different perspectives of what is introduced by FRBR as the cataloging object in the context of various interpretations of the model, namely RDA, FRBRization projects and FRBR OO .
