FRBR与OPAC发展

本文介绍了IFLA书目记录功能需求（简称FRBR）三组四层模型，并跟踪了这一理念在OPAC中的应用。通过实例分析提出了传统OPAC的发展方向，并对我国OPAC的FRBR化提出了几点建议。     

Discovering Music: Small-Scale,Web-Scale,Facets, and Beyond

In this presentation, two music librarians addressed the issues related to the discovery of library music resources. Rebecca Belford talked about the Music Library Association’s “Music Discovery Requirements” (MLA MDR) document, and how it applies to some contexts. Tracey Snyder then described the incorporation of MLA MDR into the development of a specific discovery interface. The presenters identified some of the challenges characteristic of music resources and ways in which those challenges may be met, reasoning that a tool capable of handling music will be capable of handling most things in a general collection.     

Thema and FRBR's Third Group

The treatment of subjects by Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) has attracted less attention than some of its other aspects, but there seems to be a general consensus that it needs work. While some have proposed elaborating its subject categories—concepts, objects, events, and places—to increase their semantic complexity, a working group of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) has recently made a promising proposal that essentially bypasses those categories in favor of one entity, thema. This article gives an overview of the proposal and discusses its relevance to another difficult problem, ambiguities in the establishment of headings for buildings.     

FRBR对地图资料元数据规范的启示

DC元数据对地图资料的著录存在无法深度揭示其内容特征等不足。FRBR对地图资料的一般属性和特殊属性作了定义与描述。在FRBR的启示下,将版本、源载体、空间、技术4个扩展元素增加为地图资料的著录款项,能规范地图资料元数据结构,从而提高网络环境中地图资料确认与检索的准确性与全面性。
