RE: Hierarchical Catalog Records: Implementing a FRBR Catalog

["Breininger, Kathryn R" <kathryn.r.breininger@boeing.com>]

Hi Farrukh,
As you are aware, the field of Library and Information Science has had
standards and processes to enable the electronic exchange of
bibliographic information for over 50 years, and standards for the
description and classification of information resources for hundreds of
years.  We just converted to electronic when the technology came along.


This research paper is addressing the need to include a capability to
link related records for materials so users can quickly find various
versions or formats (printed book, audio-tape of same book, CD, etc.)  I
do not see any implications related to our work.  The world of
bibliographic description and the world of business to business
transactions, while having some similarities (for example, the
electronic exchange of information), are in different circles of purpose
and use. 

Kathryn
