Stealth mention
The June 2005 (Vol. 9 No. 6) issue of Information Outlook (the monthly magazine of the Special Libraries Association) has an article about taxonomies that mentions FRBR without mentioning FRBR. I quote from “Knowledge Taxonomies: What’s the Role for Information Professionals?” (pp. 45-52) by Jo Anne Côté:
The teaching of classification schemes should emphasize synthesis and taxonomy development to better prepare library and information professionals for all aspects of the current information environment and that of the future. An understanding of Natural Language Processing, ontology in general, and the potential of keyword searching would help in determining how best to organize information and make it available. Facility with the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions’ Entity Relationship (ER) model for bibliographic records would help in adapting traditional cataloging skills to more abstract and conceptual ways of organizing information. The ER model characterizes the universe in terms of entities and their relationships, which is similar to network taxonomy.
FRBR doesn’t get mentioned by name, and the only related source in the bibliography is to Barbara Tillett’s paper from the 1994 IFLA conference, IFLA Study on the Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records: Theoretical and Practical Foundations. Not very helpful.
