Patrick Le Boeuf FRBR: toward some practical experimentation in ELAG? 2

I. Context

ELAG FRBR

"not only of a high theoretical value,but also a practical one;making it possible to integrate digital resources with "traditional" material"

Susanna Peruginelli, Florence, January 2000:

I. Context

• Implementation problems?

Experimentation is required!

• Cataloguers’ comfort• (catalogue production devices)

• Users’ comfort• (OPAC devices)

Patrick Le Boeuf FRBR: toward some practical experimentation in ELAG? 4

I. Context

A new database New data to feed it

Paula Goossens’ Guidelines

Principles:

• Just XML

• New creations• No MARC structure

Patrick Le Boeuf FRBR: toward some practical experimentation in ELAG? 5

I. Context

• 4 bibliographic families so far not enough!

• They exist only on paper…

• Here are three of them:

II. Three examplesa) a "unicellular" family

(a very common case, especially for National Bibliographic Agencies)

a) a "unicellular" family: comments

• Much redundancy: the same title three times!• Cataloguers shouldn’t have to type the same data several times• Once they’ve typed the title of a work, the catalogue production system should provide them with a "by default" proposal:

which they would change only when necessary

II. Three examplesb) "Boris Godunov"

The Pushkin play, the libretto, the opera, etc…

III. Future developments

• More than just 4 bibliographic familiesAre there any volunteers?

• A place, a computer, a software,and the database is done!

An opportunity: the VisualCat structure from the Danish Bibliographic Centre (thanks to Poul Henrik Jørgensen!)

Patrick Le Boeuf FRBR: toward some practical experimentation in ELAG? 14

III. Future developments

• Two main focuses:– Ergonomics of the catalogue production system– OPAC issues

Patrick Le Boeuf FRBR: toward some practical experimentation in ELAG? 15

IV. Some reflections on OPACs

Last year Dan Matei said:

"We must get rid of traditional "Author / Title / Subject" OPACs!"

– Would it really benefit our patrons?– How could this be achieved?
