FRBR in MAB2 und Primo - ein kafkaesker Prozess? Möglichkeiten der FRBRisierung von MAB2-Datensätzen in Primo, exemplarisch dargestellt an Datensätzen zu Franz Kafkas 'Der Process'

摘要

FRBR is a conceptual model for the bibliographic universe and aims to simplify browsing in online library catalogues with special regard to users' needs. The data format still in use in the Austrian Library Network is MAB2. Bibliographic records are created according to the rules for alphabetic cataloguing in academic libraries. In 2009 Primo was implemented – a software which is capable of normalizing bibliographic records for front-end display. This Master Thesis wants to highlight the possibilities in Primo for metadata display in accordance with FRBR and the problems occurring in this regard, illustrated by bibliographic records describing Franz Kafka's "Der Process" ("The trial"). The analysis focuses on three aspects: the concept of "work", expressions as valid entities and aggregates respectively multipart monographs. A short introduction into the FRBR model is followed by the attempt to create an ideal FRBR tree for the different manifestations of Kafka's "The trial". Problematic aspects within the model itself are highlighted. Subsequently bibliographic records from the Austrian Cooperative Catalogue are analyzed in order to show the FRBR capability of MAB2 and beyond that to explain the FRBR key options in Primo. Some limitations of FRBRizing MAB2 in Primo have been made particularly apparent: The data in MAB2 records is not consistent enough to enable catalogue displays in accordance with FRBR. Moreover, the possibilities of clustering works and facets may improve browsing for library users, but not as FRBR would propose.
