Bibliographic control is one of the few internationally highly standardized activities. The generally accepted IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) has influenced the modification of numerous ...other standards in the field of bibliographic control. In this context, also on UNIMARC and ISBD. Moreover, at the IFLA WLIC 2022 Congress, the working group for the revision of international cataloguing principles announced that it was analyzing the introduction of the term “work with entities”. In the COBISS system, developments in the field of bibliographic control and standards related to it are closely monitored. The transition to the new millennium shed a new light on the organization of bibliographic information, placing in the focus of interest authority data as the basic building block of a new approach to managing the sources of the bibliographic universe. Therefore, first of all, the state of authority data in the COBISS.net network should be analyzed, which can serve as a starting point for development and cooperation between the member countries of the COBISS.net network also on this field.
With the introduction of the IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM), authority control is becoming increasingly important, as authority data will play a key role in the network of linked data. ...Therefore, the preparation of authority data will help to facilitate the implementation of IFLA LRM and will be useful in the transition to RDA (Resource Description and Access).
The paper presents an overview of authority data in the COBISS system, with a focus on the Slovenian COBISS.SI system, and suggests possibilities for the future development of authority records. It presents the status of the authority databases CONOR.SI and SGC, the submission of authority records to the VIAF service, and the acquisition and use of identifiers for personal and corporate body names. It also outlines IZUM’s plans for the transition to a new catalogue that will be in line with the IFLA LRM conceptual model. The basis for the development of the new COBISS catalogue is the selection of as large a set of entities as possible to be realised in authority records and the establishment of relationships between them.
Ovaj rad daje kratak pregled primjene organizacionog modela i programske opreme COBISS u razvoju nacionalnog bibliotečno-informacijskog sistema u Makedoniji u proteklih 30 godina. Počeci primjene ...COBISS-a vode još od 1989. u okviru sistema uzajamne katalogizacije u projektu SNTIJ/BIS. Nakon raspada Jugoslavije i prestanka funkcioniranja sistema uzajamne katalogizacije, zbog potrebe uvođenja novih tehnologija i automatizacija svojih procesa nekoliko makedonskih biblioteka su ponovo počele da koriste programsku opremu COBISS. U 2004. godini, kada je veći broj biblioteka projavilo interes za primjenu programske opreme COBISS, Ministarstvo kulture RM je odlučilo da se platforma COBISS primijeni za razvoj nacionalnog bibliotečko-informacionog sistema Makedonije, i za tu svrhu je u Nacionalnoj i univerzitetskoj biblioteki “Sv. Kliment Ohridski” bio osnovan centar Virtuelne biblioteke Makedonije tj. VBM Centar. U proteklih 15 godina sistem COBISS.MK funkcionira i razvija se prema razvojnim planovima mreže COBISS.Net. Do kraja ove jubilarne godine u njemu biće uključeno više od 70 biblioteka (nacionalna, javne, visokoškolske i specijalne). Višedecenijska primjena COBISS’-a omogućila je vidljivost biblioteka na mreži, zaštedu i racionalizaciju vremena u procesu obrade bibliotečkog fonda, te animiranje javnosti u povećanju interesa za korištenje biblioteka.
