Es la consolidación de los modelos conceptuales desarrollados por separado por la IFLA: FRBR, FRAD y FRSAD. El LRM de la IFLA se desarrolló para resolver las inconsistencias entre los tres modelos separados. Se examinaron todas las tareas, entidades, atributos y relaciones de los tres modelos originales, se revisaron las definiciones y se requirió cierta remodelación para desarrollar una consolidación significativa. El resultado es un modelo único, optimizado y lógicamente coherente que abarca todos los aspectos de los datos bibliográficos y que, al mismo tiempo, actualiza el modelado con las prácticas conceptuales actuales. IFLA LRM se diseñó para su uso en entornos de datos enlazados y para apoyar y promover el uso de datos bibliográficos en dichos entornos.Item type: Item , UNIMARC Authorities Format Manual 1.2.0(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025) Permanent UNIMARC Committee (PUC); Mazić, Gordana; Badovinac, Branka; Akbari-Daryan, Saeedeh; Aslanidi, Maria; Lecomte, Héloïse; Mimoso Correia, Miguel; Tfibel, Florence; Zhlobinskaya, OlgaThe first version of the online edition of the UNIMARC Authorities Format Manual was published in 2023, replacing previous editions. It includes changes agreed upon by the UNIMARC Permanent Committee (PUC) from 2010 to 2023. This edition also includes corrections in the text and examples, a reorganisation of the appendices and a new manual structure (tables of subfields, occurrence, repeatability, history paragraphs), as well as additions to the standard based on proposals by UNIMARC users and accepted by the PUC. The new UNIMARC Authorities Format documentation is an online integrated resource intended to be a permanently complete documentation and usually updated once a year.Item type: Item , UNIMARC Bibliographic Format Manual 1.2.0(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025) Permanent UNIMARC Committee (PUC); Mazić, Gordana; Badovinac, Branka; Galvão, Rosa; Zhlobinskaya, Olga; Akbari-Daryan, Saeedeh; Aslanidi, Maria; Lecomte, Héloïse; Mimoso Correia, Miguel; Tfibel, FlorenceThe UNIMARC bibliographic format is the backbone of a set of standards for the representation and exchange of different library data records: bibliographic, authorities, classification and holdings. Where applicable references are made to these formats but no details are given. For that, users of the bibliographic format are referred to the documentation for those formats. The UNIMARC Bibliographic format is designed to be a carrier for bibliographic information. It covers monographs, continuing resources, cartographic resources, music, sound recordings, graphics, projection and video materials, rare books and archival resources and electronic resources. This Manual is both a definitive statement of the bibliographic format and a guide to its use.Item type: Item , IFLA 图书馆参考模型。书目信息的概念模型(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2024) Riva, Pat; Le Boeuf, Patrick; Žumer, Maja; Zhao, Dandan; Gu, BenIFLA Library Reference Model (LRM) is a high-level conceptual reference model developed within an entity-relationship modelling framework. It is the consolidation of the separately developed IFLA conceptual models: FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD. IFLA LRM was developed to resolve inconsistencies between the three separate models. Every user task, entity, attribute and relationship from the original three models was examined, definitions had to be revised, but also some remodelling was required in order to develop a meaningful consolidation. The result is a single, streamlined, and logically consistent model that covers all aspects of bibliographic data and that at the same time brings the modelling up-to-date with current conceptual modelling practices. IFLA LRM was designed to be used in linked data environments and to support and promote the use of bibliographic data in linked data environments.
