Trond Aalberg’s Ph.D. thesis

Filed under: Papers — William Denton @ 7:17 am

Trond Aalberg has been mentioned here four times (one, two, three, four), but I just found out, thanks to someone tagging it at del.icio.us, that his 2003 Ph.D. thesis is online: Supporting Relationships in Digital Libraries (2.1 MB PDF). Chapter nine (starting on the page number 149, number 165 in the PDF) is called “The FRBR Application.” Again I must admit I haven’t read what I’m posting about, though the diagrams and tables look interesting. If you’ve read it, feel free to post a comment.
