This paper presents a generic process and a tool for the conversion of MARC-based bibliographic records to the ER-based model of the Function Requirements for Bibliographic Records. The interpretation of a record, the construction of a new set of records and the final normalization needed, is decomposed into a series of steps that is implemented in the tool using XSL transformations. The purpose of the tool is to support researchers and developers who want to explore FRBR or develop solutions…

Conversion of bibliographic records to MARC 21 format
TLDR
The result is the specification and implementation of information requirements for the conversion of the bibliographic records created in the BISIS system into the UNIMARC or MARC 21 format.
FRBRizing MARC records with the FRBR Display Tool
A Conceptual Model Based on User Needs FRBR, the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, is a conceptual model, establishing the purposes, uses, and requirements for bibliographic records.…
Benchmarking and evaluating the interpretation of bibliographic records
TLDR
BIB-R is proposed, the first public benchmark for the FRBRization process, composed of two datasets that enable the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of a FRBRized tool and a set of well defined metrics that evaluate the different steps of the FR BRization process.
A Survey of FRBRization Techniques
TLDR
This paper proposes a synthetic and relevant classification of the FRBRization techniques according to specific criteria of comparison such as model expressiveness or specific enhancements.
BIB-R: A Benchmark for the Interpretation of Bibliographic Records
TLDR
This work proposes the first public benchmark for the FRBRization process, a successor to the MARC format that is commonly used by libraries worldwide and led to the complex transformation of MARC catalogs to FRBR catalogs (FRBRization).
Coding FRBR-Structured Bibliographic Information in MARC
TLDR
This solution promises a migration path for library systems without losing the compatibility with existing standards and shows that it is possible to code even more complex FRBR structures within the current format.
FRBRization of MARC records in multiple catalogs
TLDR
This paper addresses the problem of using the FRBR model to support the presentation of results by implementing new algorithms and techniques for transforming existing MARC records into the FR BR model.
FRBR-ML: A FRBR-based framework for semantic interoperability
TLDR
This article's work on transforming and enhancing legacy bibliographic information into a representation where the structure and semantics of the FRBR model is explicit is presented.
Interactive Displays for the Next Generation of Entity-Centric Bibliographic Models
TLDR
This paper presents a system for entity-centric search and a user study on how the displays of the FRBR entities compare in their ability to support different user tasks.
Supporting multilingual bibliographic resource discovery with Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
TLDR
The hypothesis that FRBR can be implemented for resource discovery in a non-intrusive way, reusing the data of any existing traditional bibliographic system is supported.

An investigation of the Australian National Bibliographic Database is reported on to understand the implications and potential issues of applying FRBR in this environment.
FRBR Display Tool
TLDR
The FRBR Display Tool was developed to transform bibliographic data found in MARC 21 record files into meaningful displays by grouping them into the work, expression, manifestation, and item FRBR entities.

Case Studies in implementing Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records [FRBR]: AustLit and MusicAustralia
TLDR
Issues about re-purposing existing MARC records for FRBR storage and display in the context of the MusicAustralia project are raised.
Automatic Conversion from MARC to FRBR
TLDR
Although there are numerous ”dialects” of the MARC format in use, they are usually crafted on the same basis and are interoperable with each other —to a certain extent.
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
TLDR
The IFLA FRBR study was begun in 1992 in a context of much questioning about how bibliographic records and catalogs would work in changing technology, questions that continue to be relevant even now as technology continues to evolve and reveal new possibilities.
Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries
TLDR
EBONI (Electronic Books ON-screen Interface) offers an evaluation model, or general methodology, from which ebook usability experiments in a range of areas can be extracted and remain comparable at a basic level.
