“…Improved search experience was early recognized as the key contribution of FRBR [2] and this has been the main motivation for research and experimental prototypes applying the model [8,11,3,6,20]. Unfortunately most systems developed so far are based on existing data, automatically transformed from MARC records into a FRBR-based representation [15].…”

Abstract. The model of bibliographic entities defined in the IFLA Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) represents a major transition from the digital card catalog to databases containing a rich structure of entities and relationships with well-defined semantics. However, the question of how to best search and present this entity-centric bibliographic data remains a challenge. In this paper we present a system for entity-centric search and a user study on how the displays of the FRBR entities compare in their ability to support different user tasks.

“…Fattahi (), for example, talked of a superwork record as a meta‐record that would integrate all records presenting instances of a work as well as works about the work, thus generating a tool that would enable “better understanding, differentiating, relating, organizing and synthesizing information about bibliographic families” (Fattahi, , p. 6) by presenting the size of the bibliographic family, types of entities that are related to the work, as well as types of relationships that exist between works. Examples of how such data and relationships could be displayed were proposed by Ercegovac (), Yee (), and Carlyle (), who all mapped the data to hierarchical presentations. Carlyle (), for example, suggested a display scheme that presented “summary work displays” and “summary author displays,” each having a particular categorization and inner order based on the entities retrieved.…”

Since their beginnings, bibliographic information systems have been displaying results in the form of long, textual lists. With the development of new data models and computer technologies, the need for new approaches to present and interact with bibliographic data has slowly been maturing. To investigate how this could be accomplished, a prototype system, FrbrVis1, was designed to present work families within a bibliographic information system using information visualization. This paper reports on two user studies, a controlled and an observational experiment, that have been carried out to assess the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)‐based against an existing system as well as to test four different hierarchical visual layouts. The results clearly show that FrbrVis offers better performance and user experience compared to the baseline system. The differences between the four hierarchical visualizations (Indented tree, Radial tree, Circlepack, and Sunburst) were, on the other hand, not as pronounced, but the Indented tree and Sunburst design proved to be the most successful, both in performance as well as user perception. The paper therefore not only evaluates the application of a visual presentation of bibliographic work families, but also provides valuable results regarding the performance and user acceptance of individual hierarchical visualization techniques.

“…However, usage of this model in real world applications tailored to the needs of real users has been less systematically explored, although some protoypes and studies can be found [4,2,7]. Model and vocabulary development as well as the creation of data sets is often driven by domain expert and needs to be complemented by best practice knowledge from application development and studying users.…”
