With the introduction of FRBR (Functional Requirements of a Bibliographic Record) in 1998, IFLA (the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutes) introduced a new conceptual entity relationship model. FRBR was soon followed by FRAD (Functional Requirements of Authority Data) and FRSAD (Functional Requirements of Subject Authority Data). With LRM (IFLA Library Reference Model) and two descriptive standards, the RDA Toolkit and BIBFRAME to follow, it helps catalogers to have a greater understanding of the entity relationship models they use for bibliographic description. The authors compare the models and descriptive standards. Differences among the entities, their definitions, and properties are examined and analyzed.

Resource Description

"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.

Objetivo. El artículo identifica la génesis de los estudios del modelo conceptual Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), publicado en 1998, por la International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), con el propósito de desarrollar un nuevo abordaje sobre el registro bibliográfico. Método. Se recurrió a la investigación bibliográfica para identificar publicaciones científicas sobre el concepto de modelo y de modelo conceptual para entonces, a partir de las fuentes de información oficiales de la IFLA, tratar la génesis del modelo conceptual FRBR, a fin de investigar la trayectoria que antecede la publicación del modelo e identificar el debate intelectual en torno a su elaboración. Resultado. Se constató que el modelo FRBR nació con fines eminentemente prácticos, pues engendra un conjunto de expectativas en torno a la reducción de costes de la catalogación, indicando un nivel mínimo de elementos en los registro bibliográficos que atiendan a las necesidades de los usuarios, asociadas con los varios tipos de materiales y contextos de uso. Conclusión. El acúmulo del conocimiento científico, sumado a la dimensión de la experiencia traída y sostenida en el modelo, altera los paradigmas de la catalogación tradicional, aunque el informe final del modelo no presente los fundamentos que lo sostienen.
