Updated bibliography and FRBRoo
Patrick Le Boeuf (past chair of the FRBR Review Group) sent out a pointer to the FRBR mailing list saying he’d just released an update to the FRBR Bibliography (1.4 MB RTF). There’s a new section at the end about the object-oriented formulation of FRBR, and it includes these links to a FRBRoo section of the CIDOC site:
- FRBRoo Introduction: “The FRBRoo is a formal ontology intended to capture and represent the underlying semantics of bibliographic information and to facilitate the integration, mediation, and interchange of bibliographic and museum information.”
- Drafts of the FRBRoo model
- Reports and Minutes
- Technical Papers and References
FRBR uses an entity-relationship model (it has three different kinds of entities), and FRBRoo does it as an object-oriented model.
(I think it’s officially pronounced “ferber oh-oh” but I like to call it “ferberoo.”)
