  1. FRBR Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Record A practical experience at the Université catholique de Louvain Belgium Claire Dupont | Cataloging and authority control | with the collaboration of Antoinette Le Maire

  2. Historical aspects • UCL has been using the VTLS FRBR implementation since December 2003. • In 2004 creation of the « Académie Louvain » : a consortium of 4 belgian Universities. • Migration of data from those 4 universities in a Consortium DB. Only UCL was running FRBR before. • We moved to the VTLS FRBR Consortium environment in April 2006.

  3. Positive aspects • “Global” representation of an "intellectual" or "artistic" universe through : • Collocation. • Greater visibility for the end user. • Accessibility to "big" works, for examples works of philosophers, great writers, correspondence, and so on. • Structural relationships from work to work.

  4. Ability to extract FRBR records in a non FRBR format like MARC or XML for exchange and for harvesting in a Union catalog MODS based (so VTLS Virtua is allowing interoperability even for FRBR records). • Ability to find FRBR candidates, based on a script integrated in VTLS Virtua, and to automatically « FRBR-ize » the good candidates in the catalog. • We are working on a script based on « thingISBN »  to find more FRBR candidates in our catalog (in development – examples further)

  5. But nothing is perfect … • Limits of the MARC format and the mapping* (content notes, edition statement for example). • No way to identify a FRBR record in the index entries. This would be very helpful. • Reverse tree : so useful but unfortunately not yet active in the gateway (let’s be patient …). *DELSEY, Tom.

  6. Our database : a mixed catalog • FRBR and non-FRBR records living together in a unique catalog

  7. FRBR and non-FRBR records living together in a unique catalog Non-FRBR record FRBR record

  8. Our database : a mixed catalogue • FRBR and non-FRBR records living together. • The display changes automatically.

  9. The display changes automatically Non FRBR record FRBR record

  10. Our database : a mixed catalogue • FRBR and non-FRBR records living together. • The display changes automatically. • Each level is displayed according to the Local Level field "W" "E" "M" .

  11. Each level is displayed according to the Local Level field "W" "E" "M" Work Manifestation Expression

  12. Our database : a mixed catalogue • FRBR and non-FRBR records living together. • The display changes automatically. • Each level is displayed according to the Local Level field "W" "E" "M" . • An automatic link between each level is created through 001 and 004 tags.

  13. An automatic link between each level is created through 001 and 004 tags. Work Expression

  14. How does it work ? • Creating a new FRBR record All the information is already existing in the non FRBR record … Item Expression Work Manifestation

  15. Adding a record to an existing FRBR record

  16. Using ascript based on « thingISBN »  to find FRBR candidates BIBID 959909 : 9780151369027 <=> 015136902X 100 $a : 245 $a : The great code : the Bible and literature / 260 $b : Harvest books/Harcourt, 260 $c : 1983 ISBN : 0156364808 ISBN : 0156027801 ISBN : 015136902X ISBN : 0140129286 ISBN : 0774701366 ISBN : 0744800056 ISBN : 0710090382      0710090382 [BIBID 1230361]                  100 $a : Frye, Northrop                 245 $a : The great code: the bible and literature                  260 $b : Routledge & Kegan Paul,                  260 $c : 1982 ISBN : 077470134X ISBN : 0143054333 ISBN : 857559012X ISBN : 963076038X ISBN : 9061682495     9061682495 [BIBID 260329]                  100 $a : Frye, Northrop                 245 $a : De grote code : de Bijbel en de literatuur /                  260 $b : SUN ,                  260 $c : 1986. • A script identifies this ISBN in a Manifestation record • Make a search in LibraryThing • Results : list of related ISBNs • New search in our database to identify those related ISBNs • Result : FRBR candidates

  17. Some examples … • Example 1 : translations of a work Work Expressions sorted alphabetically (you can change the order manually) Manifestations Item

  18. Work Expressions Manifestations sorted by descending order "publication dates" (you can change the order manually) Item

  19. Example 2 : structural relationships from work to work Super Work Works

  20. Example 3 : correspondence Author search on "Freud" 

  21. “Global” representation of the correspondence of Freud

  22. Example 4 Title search on "The adventures of Tom Sawyer" 

  23. Two works in the same book … Appears once under the title "The adventures of Tom Sawyer"

  24. If I make a title search on "The adventures of Huckelberry Finn" ...  Appears once under the title "The adventures of Huckelberry Finn"

  25. Example 5 : other material DVD

  26. CD audio

  27. Thesis : paper and electronic versions

  28. FRBR and the future … FRBR is opening the road to : • new cataloging methods • analyzing deeply notion of  "seriality" and dynamic structure of electronic resources • new model for authority data, hope to soon have FRAD implemented • RDA/FRBR is opening a new universe which will abolish the MARC limitations
