  • FRBRoo: enabling a common view of information from memory institutions
    Riva, Pat ; Doerr, Martin ; Žumer, Maja, 1953-
    In 2008 the FRBR/CRM Harmonisation Working group has achieved a major milestone: a complete version of the object-oriented of FRBR (FRBRoo) was released for comment. After a brief overview of the ... history and context of the Working Group, this paper focuses on the primary contributions resulting from this work. -FRBRoo is a self-contained document which expresses the concepts of FRBR using the object-oriented methodology and framework of CIDOC CRM. It is an alternative view on library conceptualisation/or a different purpose, not a replacement for FRBR. -This 'translation' process presented an opportunity to verify and confirm FRBR's internal consistency. -FRBRoo offers a common view of library and museum documentation as two kinds of information from memory institutions. Such a common view is necessary to provide interoperable information systems for all users interested in accessing common or related content. -The analysis provided an opportunity/or mutual enrichment of FRBR and CIDOC CRM. Examples include: Addition of the modelling of time and events to FRBR, which can be seen in its application to the publishing process; Clarification of the manifestation entity; Explicit modelling of performances and recordings in FRBR; Adding the work entity to CRM; Adding the identifier assignment process to CRM. -Producing a formalisation which is more suited for implementation with object-oriented tools, and which facilitates the testing and adoption of FRBR concepts in implementations with different functional specifications and in different environments.
