BIBFRAME: A new format of bibliographic data

书目框架计划(又称书目数据格式)BIBFRAME是美国国会图书馆与Zepheira公司合作开发的语义网应用中新一代书目数据编码格式,其宗旨是对分类资源达到"一次编制,无限通用"。本文分析了BIBFRAME的体系结构、属性和内容,指出了归属性、唯一性和关联性是BIBFRAME属性的3个基本要素,探讨了其模型、词汇以及适用的资源类型。

Initiated by the Library of Congress, BIBFRAME provides a foundation for the future of bibliographic description, both on the web, and in the broader networked world.The BIBFRAME metamodel is designed to be lightweight, flexible and able to accommodate the declarative needs of both existing （ RDA, DACS, VRA, etc..） and yet-to-be-developed community vocabularies .In addition to being a replacement for MARC, BIBFRAME serves as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data .After the background of BIBFRAME was described , its structure , attribute and contents were analyzed , its 3 basic elements , namely attribute , unique-ness and relevance , were pointed out , and its model and vocabulary were discussed .
