Access 2007
I’m at the Access 2007 conference in Victoria, British Columbia. An informant reported that FRBRization (in a loose sense) was mentioned by vendors at the How to Skin an OPAC: Integrating Users with the Social Web preconference. There was no mention of FRBR in the first day of the conference, though I did have a chat with William Moen about the MARC Content Designation Utilization project. It’s a very interesting project for many reasons, one of which is the help the MARC usage analysis will give to FRBRization projects that try to mine MARC records and winkle out “this and this are two different manifestations of the same expression of a work that must be called X” inferences.
