Next Generation OPACs: A Cataloging Viewpoint

Since around 2005 several striking attempts have been made to rethink the design of library catalogs in production systems; the North Carolina State University's (NCSU) Endeca catalog being a notable example. These developments are taking place just as the continued relevance of traditional cataloging is being questioned. This article examines the relationship of these new designs to evolving cataloging practice and the changing discovery environment.     

An Expert System for Determining Title Proper in Descriptive Cataloging

The human process of determining bibliographic data from title pages of monographs is complex, yet systematic. This paper investigates the intellectual process involved, in conceptual and logical levels, by proposing a model of the expert system for determining title proper as the first element of the first area in ISBD. It assumes that the title page of a monograph consists of more than one block of character or graphic representation. Each block has its physical and content characteristics and can be separated from other blocks by separators. Three categories of expert knowledge are identified, and the system model is discussed along with its individual system component. It applies the "list" concept for the system data structure and addresses the potentiality of this conceptual model.     

FRBR在连续性资源编目中的应用

连续性资源在组织上原本就比单行本图书复杂许多,而数字环境中所出现的多重版本(MV)议题更令编目员棘手,处理连续性资源的复杂性、解决多重版本问题,以FRBR为发展基础的对策,就变得尤为重要。本文拟从文献分析着手,研探FRBR模式对连续性资源编目的应用,及可能面临的问题及挑战。     

现代信息环境下编目的价值

网络与信息技术快速发展,编目环境扩及到相关信息领域,应推动编目对象、理念、工具、形式及书目记录功能的改变,以适应读者需求.知识组织整序作为图书馆的核心竞争力,是现代信息环境下编目工作最重要的价值体现.     

信息技术新环境下文献编目再认识

由图书馆目录与书目记录功能、书目关系,探究编目工作的内涵;从实物、程序、产品和运作机制几方面,分析信息技术对编目工作带来的机遇与挑战.知识组织整序作为图书馆的核心竞争力,是数字化信息时代编目工作最适合承担也是最应该承担的内容;唯有了解社会需求、读者群特性、信息内涵以及与之相关的信息技术,编目工作才能更好地为人类记忆和记忆寻求者服务.     

Cataloging for Consortial Collections: A Survey

ABSTRACT

Libraries face many challenges in making electronic resources accessible and discoverable. In particular, the exponentially incre-asing number of licensed and open access electronic resources and the dynamic nature of consortial collections (platform changes, title transference between packages, and package overlap) present challenges for cataloging and discovery. From March 21 to April 10, 2017, the authors performed a selected review of library literature and conducted a survey of library consortia worldwide to ascertain the cataloging models, strategies, and advanced technological tools used to ensure discovery of consortial collections. The findings from the literature review and survey are summarized in this article.     

FRBR应用于书目记录质量评估的研究

书目记录的质量至关重要。介绍了基于FRBR模式评估书目记录质量的工具。     

Reference Expert Systems:

The delivery of library reference service can be practically supplemented through the appropriate incorporation and use of software tools commonly referred to as expert systems. The level of support such systems can afford the reference service organization is dependent on the degree of complexity characteristic of the rule-based programming techniques used to develop a particular system and the size of its knowledge database. Since most expert systems are designed to simulate the process of problem-solving practiced by an expert in a given field, an expert system designed to fully emulate library reference work must have the potential to respond to a wide subject range of questions with varying degrees of response adequacy. The widespread development of expert systems with this type of potential is limited due to the tremendous personnel and hardware costs currently associated in the design and application of systems of this size. Most locations utilizing some form of reference expert system have applied a compromised, more cost-efficient approach in this area. The following describes a micro-computer-based reference expert-type system that has emerged due to this needed compromise.     

RDA对其它国际编目标准的继承与发展

令编目领域瞩目的RDA已经编制完成并出版,它的产生必将使整个世界的编目工作从理念到实践都发生一场变革.文章从RDA的内容和功能入手,分析了RDA对AACR2、FRBR、FRAD、ISBD、ICP及MARC21的继承和发展.     

From Bibliographic Models to Cataloging Rules: Remarks on FRBR,ICP, ISBD,and RDA and the Relationships Between Them

This article discusses the changes that are occurring in the world of cataloging. It argues that these changes need to be coordinated. It also discusses the feature of current OPACs, FRBR, the Paris Principles and its proposed replacement (ICP), AACR2 and its proposed replacement (RDA), ISBD, and the relationships between and among these standards. It argues that the syntax of ISBD is an essential component of RDA and all future international and national cataloging codes.     

试谈书目记录国际化

本文通过对MARC转换、MARC中字符编码的沟通问题以及人工干预这三个方面的论述，让读者了解了当前国内图书馆在编目方面的一个新发展趋势——编目工作国际化，以及这一新的变化所面临的困难和解决方法。     

基于OCLC第三代编目系统Connexion的对国内联机联合编目系统整合的构想

文章介绍了OCLC三代编目系统尤其是Connexion系统,在借鉴Connexion优点的基础上,对国内现有的联机联合编目系统进行了整合,形成了一个新系统的构想并阐述了如何对新系统加以实现,以期提供一个能够对传统信息资源和网络信息资源同时进行编目的有效工具.     

FRBR和CIDOC CRM知识本体之间的协调工作

文章介绍了国际博物馆理事会下属的国际文献工作委员会提出的CIDOC CRM这个面向对象的概念参考模型以及最近成立的FRBR和CIDOC CRM国际协调工作组的工作.经过若干次会议,工作组发现FRBR和CIDOC CRM都存在一些内在的缺陷.通过对双方的比较,工作组提出了FRBR今后修订的一些建议.

电子资源批量编目的实践及研究

认为批量编目是促进电子资源获取的有效手段。针对国内电子资源批量编目的实践进行调研,涉及数据质量、相关工具、对书目系统质量的影响、面临的挑战、发现系统对电子资源批量编目的影响等内容。对调研结果进行分析,发现批量编目遇到的最普遍的挑战是数据质量问题,各馆质量评估及数据编辑修改的做法有所差异,整体上国内图书馆对数据质量的重视程度还不够。最后总结国外相关实践对我们的启示。     

The Electronic Cataloging in Publication Cataloging Partnership Program: A Model for Cooperative Cataloging for the Twenty-First Century

The Library of Congress’ Cataloging in Publication (CIP) Program has been in existence for forty years. During this time, the CIP Program has moved from a model where the Library of Congress created all pre-publication metadata for publishers to a partnership where other libraries share in the creation of metadata. This article documents the evolution of the Electronic Cataloging in Publication (ECIP) Cataloging Partnership Program. The ECIP Cataloging Partnership Program can be used as a model to leverage limited resources across libraries to the benefit of library users nationwide.
