Work in progress: The Linked Open Bibliographic Data Project

摘要

The publication of the BIBFRAME Primer (Miller et al, 2012) provided cataloguers with a glimpse of the new cataloguing model proposed by the Library of Congress to replace MARC. Prompted by the findings of the US National RDA Tests, the Bibliographic Frameworks Initiative sought to find a structure that would allow for the linked data capabilities of RDA while accommodating the legacy data created in libraries in MARC from the 1960s – 2010s. As such, BIBFRAME is the fourth major model with which cataloguers in the Anglo-American community are required to familiarise themselves in order to understand modern cataloguing and meet the needs of the job market, and, therefore, the fourth model that educators must teach beginning cataloguers (Table 1).
