Program Description

Time and Location: Sunday, 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm, Anaheim Convention Center, 210 A-C

To improve search and retrieval experiences for users, the data modeling concepts of FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records)- work, expression, manifestation, and item - have been incorporated into RDA (Resource Description and Access) and elsewhere. FRBR has been extended to both name and subject authority data through the work of FRAD (Functional Requirements for Authority
Data) and FRSAR (Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Records). Speakers will describe the status of this work to date. [From LITA Program Description]

Session Notes

I have submitted a post on this session to the LITA blog as well as a brief report for the ALCTS Newsletter Online. I didn't include much detailed notes nor analysis in these reports - just links to the slides and models that the speakers used or referred to (wherever I could find them on the Web). I leave it to the readers to do their own interpretation and analysis of these documents.
