Pretendemos fazer uma apresentação da noção de obra nas FRBR (Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records), RDA (Resource, Description and Acess) e BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative). Este artigo tem como base a dissertação de mestrado apresentada à Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra em fevereiro de 2019. Com o aparecimento das FRBR, o conceito de obra torna-se fundamental para mudar o foco no tratamento bibliográfico dos fundos documentais. A obra é a entidade de nível mais elevado e as expressões, manifestações e itens são tratados com relação hierárquica com esta obra. Apresentamos a evolução deste conceito ao longo da história da biblioteconomia. Segue-se a apresentação do aparecimento das FRBR, RDA e BIBFRAME e os conceitos de obra nestes documentos/projetos.

We examine how the conceptual model of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records is related to the notion of documentary unit attributed to Otlet and present in the Traité de Documentation, whose principles are applied to support the foundations of the Universal Bibliographic Repertory. In theoretical and methodological terms, this is an exploratory research with a historical and documentary nature that seeks to ascertain the classical assumptions of representation and organization of information and relate them to the context of the Semantic Web. We analyze the results of simulations of the application of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records carried out in Acesso Livre à Informação Científica of Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária to illustrate how Otlet's theses are applied to these digital bibliographies. We discuss the advantages of repositories for the modeling processes since the Dublin Core format allows the use of languages such as the Resource Description Framework for the description of metadata, which enhances information retrieval. We conclude by demonstrating how the principles of monograph, continuity and plurality are expressed in the entities in Group I of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records conceptual model, which reveals methodological affinities between the model and Otlet's theses. We point out that actions directed towards encouraging the description of bibliographic metadata in Resource Description Framework statements will, in the near future, allow each resource to be identified in a meaningful way through a universal identifier - Uniform Resource Identifier -, allowing the database records to be interconnected and access to the user to a huge amount of stored information, as stated by Otlet when developing the Universal Bibliographic Repertory.

Analisa os prós e contras do novo código americano Resource Description and Access (RDA), sob o ponto de vista de um grupo brasileiro de estudos sobre catalogação. O RDA se propõe a tornar-se o código internacional de catalogação. Indubitavelmente, trouxe algumas inovações e vários aspectos positivos, como a introdução de materiais digitais e alguns elementos da família dos Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). Ao mesmo tempo, o RDA pode ser analisado sob outros aspectos, como o problema das restrições na tradução e seus custos de licenciamento e direitos autorais. Apresentam-se alguns pontos de vista europeus, assim como uma possível solução no caso brasileiro.

This study surveyed the current state of knowledge about, and application or use of, Resource Description and Access (RDA) among American public library catalogers. In 2017, an online survey request was e-mailed to four thousand libraries for the person or persons most responsible for cataloging to complete the questionnaire. More than three hundred libraries responded. The data expose serious concerns with RDA adoption within the public library sector. While a majority of catalogers know about RDA, their working knowledge about it differs substantially depending on whether they work in rural or urban library settings. Regardless, 22 percent of respondants still had not heard of the RDA standard until completing this survey. While further training and educational opportunities (along with funds) for catalogers nationwide would help minimize this disparity, LIS schools also can play a role by educating more thoroughly the next generations of catalogers in this newer descriptive standard. Coming on the brink of a shift in the theoretical framework of the RDA standard, from the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model to the IFLA Library Reference Model (LRM), public library catalogers risk falling even farther behind in their knowledge and compitency with the RDA standard.

Purpose – This study aims to investigate Malaysian catalogers’ awareness, familiarity and understanding of the new bibliographic content standard, i.e. Resource Description and Access (RDA). Design/methodology/approach – The survey method was adopted in this study. Questionnaires were used to gather data from respondents. The study included catalogers from higher education institutions in the area of Klang Valley, Malaysia. Purposive sampling method was used to identify the respondents. Findings – The results revealed that, in general, though Malaysian catalogers were aware of the RDA, they were only familiar with the basics of RDA and its related topics. They were mainly aware of topics regarding the overview and development of RDA, and indicated low understanding of other topics, such as Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), related to RDA. The study found that respondents acknowledged the inadequacy of their basic understanding of RDA. The study also identified the catalogers’ needs and preference for RDA training. Most of the catalogers favored learning more about RDA context topics which include FRBR, Functional Requirements for Authority Data and International Cataloging Principles. They indicated willingness to undergo a two- to three-day intensive workshop to learn more about RDA. Practical implications – Like in other countries, catalogers in Malaysia may also encounter problems when implementing the new RDA. Findings of this study would be useful in designing RDA trainings for catalogers. Originality/value – No study has been done to investigate Malaysian catalogers’ awareness and understanding of RDA.

Este trabalho examina como o modelo conceitual Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records se aproxima da noção de unidade documentária atribuída a Paul Otlet e presente no Traité de Documentation, cujos princípios são aplicados ao fundamentar as bases do Repertório Bibliográfico Universal. Em termos teóricos e metodológicos, trata-se de pesquisa exploratória de caráter histórico e documental, cujo objetivo é averiguar os pressupostos clássicos da representação e organização da informa- ção, relacionando-os com o contexto da Web Semântica. Avança analisando os resultados de simulações acerca da aplicação dos Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records no repositório Acesso Livre à Informação Científica da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária, de modo a ilustrar como as teses de Otlet se aplicam a essas ferramentas bibliográficas. Mostra as vantagens dos repositórios nos processos de modelagem, pois o formato Dublin Core permite a descrição de metadados usando linguagens como a Resource Description Framework, o que potencializa a recuperação de informações. Finaliza demonstrando como os princípios - monográfico, da continuidade e da pluralidade -, se expressam nas entidades do Grupo I do modelo conceitual Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, o que revela as afinidades metodológicas entre o modelo e as teses de Otlet. Ressalta que ações direcionadas no sentido de incentivar a descrição dos metadados bibliográficos em declarações em Resource Description Framework permitirá, num futuro bem próximo, que cada recurso seja identificado de forma pertinente por meio de um identificador universal - Uniform Resource Identifier -, possibilitando que os registros das bases de dados sejam interligados, permitindo ao usuário acesso a uma massa informacional há séculos estocada, tal como preconizou Otlet ao criar o Repertório Bibliográfico Universal.Palavras-chave: Registros bibliográficos.

This paper examines the role of genre in organizing bibliographic information through three sets of modern cataloging rules spanning 171 years: Panizzi’s Rules for the Compilation of the Catalogue (91 Rules), Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Second Edition 2002 Revision (AACR2r), and Resource Description and Access (RDA). Genre-related rules are identified on the basis of their inclusion of the keywords “genre(s)” and “form(s).” Then, the identified rules are analyzed from two aspects: the contexts in which these rules are addressed and four user tasks defined by the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)—find, identify, select and obtain. Genre is found absent in 91 Rules and mostly addressed in the note area in AACR2r, while in RDA, genre acts as the primary distinguishing characteristic of work and can be implemented widely as additions to access points, as separate elements, or as both. In conclusion, the paper suggests that the genre concept has yet to be clearly defined and its significance fully articulated in cataloging as well as in the broader discipline of knowledge organization.

"Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records," a document issued by the International Federation of Library Association’s Cataloguing Section in 1997, has achieved the status of an important theoretical model of the cataloging process, in effect, a theory of cataloging. It is the foundation on which the new cataloging code, Resource Description and Access (RDA), is based. An understanding of the FRBR model is essential to the understanding and application of RDA. This paper explains the entity-relationship model which FRBR presents: the bibliographic entities (work, expression, manifestation, item), their attributes, and the relationships that connect them. It explains how bibliographic records based on the FRBR model would be structured, and demonstrates how FRBR informs the structure of RDA. It describes the controversies connected with the forthcoming implementation of RDA in March, 2013, and explores the implications of this implementation for the library community.

With his excellent reference work, RDA Essentials, Thomas Brenndorfer presents a guide to the cataloging code Resource Description and Access (RDA) that is both comprehensive and comprehensible. Brenndorfer provides catalogers with a clear path through RDA, helping them to understand the cataloging code and its underlying principles in plain English. Through his thorough introduction, Brenndorfer clearly and intelligently illustrates for readers the connections between the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records model (FRBR), FRBR user tasks, and the creation of bibliographic description. Readers of this work will thus gain not only a fairly complete bibliographic description of their chosen item, but also a greater appreciation for RDA’s structure and conceptual underpinnings.

The national bibliography is a comprehensive and systematic catalog that gathers and records the information of all the publications in a country, and serves as the base for monitoring and managing all the information related. China National Bibliography in modern times has been continuously developed and improved, thanks to the legacies from its past and the experiences of other countries. The present paper first reviews the past and the present of China National Bibliography, then discusses the progress of researches on the application of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), and finally explains the survey on the feasibility of adopting the new cataloging standard RDA in China. Although the FRBRization of China National Bibliography, to a certain extent, facilitates the readers’ use, we argue that the FRBRization of the existing MARC data cannot realize all the ideas FRBR creates. There are some problems, such as the distinctions between works and expressions, the construction issues of the bibliographic and authority data. In the process of implementing localized RDA in the cataloging of foreign materials of all languages and types, the National Library of China conducted an investigation into the feasibility of implementing RDA in the cataloging of Chinese literature, finding that although there is not a vast gulf between RDA and current Chinese cataloging standards, a lot of problems do need to be resolved both theoretically and practically. First, the Chinese national standard “Resource Description” of the day and the CNMARC standards need to be improved. Second, it is urgent to reduce the increasing manual workload of the catalogers caused by adopting RDA. Third, both the staff force and the system reserve ability of the member libraries under Online Library Cataloging Center of China should be taken into account. Fourth, RDA would add new data elements, thus the initiation of this new standard simultaneously requires updating and transforming the integrated library system. Last but not the least, the application of RDA also requires the development of corresponding online toolkits to improve the cataloging efficiency.
