Abstract:
In this project MARC data from two national
bibliographies is analyzed in the light of the data model
presented in the FRBR study from IFLA. The analysis shows that
even though the information in the MARC records holds attributes
relevant for identifying the work, expression and manifestation
entities, the accuracy and formal syntax are too simple to be
properly handled by programs. Some of the results may be
used to present better hit lists in OPACs. Two suggestions for
OPAC user interface based on the ideas of the FRBR study and the
results of the project are presented.
The files are in PDF-format and should be read with the Acrobat Reader program. The program might be downloaded from : http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html.
