LRMoo, navigating standards development processes in two communities

Abstract

LRMoo, the object-oriented formulation of the IFLA Library Reference Model, is, like its predecessor FRBRoo, also a compatible extension to the museum community model, the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model. The approval process for the object-oriented models is a joint process of the two communities. LRMoo requires both IFLA standards approval, as for any other IFLA standard, and approval through the CIDOC CRM Special Interest Group, which manages the CIDOC CRM family of models within ICOM.
