French Electronic Theses and Dissertations Metadata
Yann Nicolas, who wrote Folklore Requirements for Bibliographic Records: Oral Traditions and FRBR (Cataloging & Classification Quarterly 39 (3/4)), sent a pointer to the FRBR mailing list last week about TEF 2.0 - Thèses Electroniques de France (French Electronic Theses and Dissertations Metadata).
He said, “This metadata XML structure is based on a light conceptual model inspired by FRBR…. [W]e are working on an RDF encoding that will reuse Ian Davis’ and Richard Newman’s FRBR RDF schema.” It’s in French, but even if you don’t read French you’ll see from the illustrations what’s happening and how it’s FRBRy.
