A weblog following developments around the world in FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.
Maintained by William Denton, Web Librarian at York University. Suggestions and comments welcome at wtd@pobox.com.
Confused? Try What Is FRBR? (2.8 MB PDF) by Barbara Tillett, or Jenn Riley's introduction. For more, see the basic reading list.
Books: FRBR: A Guide for the Perplexed by Robert Maxwell (ISBN 9780838909508) and Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools edited by Arlene Taylor (ISBN 9781591585091) (read my chapter FRBR and the History of Cataloging).
Resource Description and Access is going to be a web-based tool, and from the demo I saw a few months ago it could be really good. Unfortunately right now rdaonline.org is only giving away enormous PDFs of print versions. This simple HTML version of RDA has the whole thing in a much easier to read format. You can search the rules for words like manifestation. This is a really good, and fast, hack.
