Goals & Objectives

Goal
•
Increase the ability to share cataloguing
worldwide by
• Promoting standards

Objectives
Develop “Statement of International
Cataloguing Principles”
• See if we can get closer together
• Make recommendations for an International
Cataloguing Code
•
Introduction
Serve the convenience of the users
 Broaden Paris Principles

•
All types of materials (not just text)
• Description
• Access (not just choice and form of entry, but
all access for bibliographic and authority
records)

Build on
•
Great cataloguing traditions of the world
• FRBR and FRAR and future FR-Subjects
1. Scope





Guide development of
cataloguing codes
Bibliographic and
authority records
Library catalogues +
Consistent approach
to descriptive and
subject cataloguing
All kinds of resources
Scope, continued

Highest principle for constructing
cataloguing codes =
convenience of the users of the catalogue
2.1 Entities in Bibliographic
Records
 FRBR entities
•
•
•
•

Work
Expression
Manifestation
Item
Separate
bibliographic record
for each
manifestation
•
•
•
Collection
Individual work
Component
2.2 Entities in Authority Records

Controlled forms of names
•
Person
• Family
• Corporate Body
• Work
• Expression
• Manifestation
• Item
• Concept
• Object
• Event
• Place
Конфуций
2.3 Attributes and
2.4 Relationships

Attributes
•
Identify the entity
• Data elements in bibliographic and authority
records

Relationships
•
Bibliographically significant
• Identified through the catalogue
3. Functions of the Catalogue

To enable a user to
• Find
• Identify
• Select
• Obtain
• Navigate
Functions of the Catalogue

To enable a user to
Find
 Single
resource
 All resources belonging to same work
 All resources belonging to same expression
 All resources belonging to same manifestation
 All works and expressions of a given person,
family, or corporate body
 All resources on a given subject
 All resources defined by other criteria
4. Bibliographic Description

Based on internationally agreed standard
•

ISBDs
Levels of completeness
•
Based on purpose of the catalogue or
bibliographic file
5. Access Points
Formulate following general principles
 Controlled

•
Provide consistency
• Normalize following a standard (“authorized
headings”)
• Record in authority records (normalized forms
and variant forms to use as references)

Uncontrolled
•
Title proper found on manifestation
• Keywords
5.1.1 Choice of Access Points

Bibliographic record
•
Titles of works and expressions (controlled)
• Titles of manifestations (uncontrolled)
• Names of creators of works (controlled)
• Names of other persons, families, corporate
bodies, and subjects deemed important for
finding, identifying, selecting the bibliographic
resource
5.1.1.2 Access Points to Authority
Record
 Authorized
form of name
 Variant forms of name
 Related names
5.1.3 Language

Names expressed in several languages,
prefer
•
Information from manifestations of the
expression in the original language and script,
but
• If original language and script is not normally
used in the catalogue, the heading may be
based on forms found on manifestations or in
references in one of the languages and
scripts best suited to users of catalogue
5.1.3 Language, continued
Access should be provided in original
language and script whenever possible,
through either the authorized heading or a
reference.
 If transliterations are desirable, an
international standard for script conversion
should be followed.

5.2 Forms of Names for Persons
Still under discussion:

Name consists of several words, entry
word should follow conventions of the
country and language most associated
with that person, as found on
manifestations or reference sources.
5.3 Forms of Names for
Families
Still under discussion:

Name consists of several words, entry
word should follow conventions of the
country and language most associated
with that family, as found on
manifestations or reference sources.
5.4 Forms of Names for
Corporate Bodies
Still under discussion:

Corporate name should be given in direct
order, as commonly found on
manifestations
5.5 Forms of Uniform Titles
Title alone or
 Name/title combination or
 Title qualified by addition of identifying
elements

•
•
•
•
•
Corporate name
Place
Language
Date
Etc.
5.5 Uniform Title, continued
Original title or
 Title most frequently found in manifestations
of the work or
 Commonly used title in language and script
of catalogue

Still under discussion: Always add language
and date.
6. Authority Records

Construct to control authorized forms of
names and references used as access
points
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Persons
Families
Corporate bodies
Works, expressions, manifestations, items
Concepts
Objects
Events
Places
7. Foundations for Search
Capabilities

7.1 Search and Retrieval
• Access points
1)
2)
provide reliable retrieval of
bibliographic, authority records and
associated bibliographic resources and
limit search results
7.1.1 Searching Devices

Names, titles, and subjects searchable
and retrievable by any device, e.g.,
•
•
•
•
•
Full forms of names
Key words
Phrases
Truncation
Etc.
7.1.2 Indispensable Access Points

Base on main attributes and relationships
of each entity

For bibliographic record:
• Name of creator or first named creator when >1
• Title proper or supplied title for manifestation
• Year(s) of publication or issuance
• Uniform title of work/expression
• Subject headings, subject terms
• Classification numbers
• Standard numbers, identifiers, “key titles”
7.1.2 Indispensable Access Points

For authority records:
•
Authorized name or title of the entity
• Variant forms of name or title for the entity
7.1.3 Additional Access Points

For bibliographic record, e.g.,
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Names of additional creators beyond first
Names of performers, families, or corporate
bodies in other roles than creator
Parallel titles, caption titles, etc.
Uniform title of series
Bibliographic record identifiers
Language
Country of publication
Physical medium
7.1.3 Additional Access Points

For authority records, e.g.,
•
Names of titles of related entities
• Authority record identifiers

through the IME ICC Web site)
Publish articles, give presentations, etc. to
share the proposals
Contact and involve other information
communities (toward shared new vocabulary,
concepts, and goals)
Continue worldwide review (continue regional
meetings)

Applications of conceptual model

FRBR is conceptual
model
 No
application is
prescribed

Opportunities for the
future in new systems
designs
 Greater
connection
with a&i, digital
aggregators

Keep user foremost in
mind
