Various versions of FRBR in RDF:

 

Models

 

Implementations

 

Discussions

  • Alistair Miles' analysis and suggestions on DC wiki
  • Discussion on W3C LLD list "Disjointedness of FRBR Classes"
  • Discussion on W3C LLD list "Non- and Partial FRBR Metadata"
  • FRBR and classes ("Works in the age of mechanical reproduction")

 

Articles, Blog posts

 

 

Issues:

  • Strictness of entities (classes?) and properties condemns FRBRer to a specialist community
    • disjointness of classes
    • disjointness of properties

     Note: discussion Dec. 2011 with Gordon, TomB and Kcoyle concluded that the strictness is the IFLA SG's intention. Not clear if "someone" should create an un-constrained model nor what that would look like.

  • Incompatibility with mainstream bibliographic data (citations, bookstores, book clubs)
    • Ross's linking terms commonEndeavor commonExpression commonWork commonItem
    • SOBR, by Jakob Voss
  • Conceptual nature of FRs vs. encoding as data models 
  • Lack of linking to non-FRBR vocabularies  (DC, etc.)
  • Acknowledge uses of FRBR concepts, albeit none using the IFLA RDF: LibraryThing, WorldCat, Open Library, VTLS
  • Reconciliation of versions (above)
