The development of the conceptual ‘Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records’ (FRBR) Model enables records to be considered in terms of contextual relationships. Developments in software can capitalise on this to significantly improve the display of works through surfacing of these relationships. This paper reports on an investigation of the Australian National Bibliographic Database to understand the implications and potential issues of applying FRBR in this environment.

A Process and Tool for the Conversion of MARC Records to a Normalized FRBR Implementation
TLDR
The purpose of the tool is to support researchers and developers who want to explore FRBR or develop solutions for using FRBR with existing MARC-based bibliographic catalogues.
Bibliographic records in an online environment
TLDR
Evaluating the IFLA functional requirements for bibliographic records model in the light of changes in the wider information environment and in information seeking behaviour online, rather than in terms of library catalogues per se finds that the model may no longer be sufficient as a theoretical model.
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.…
Functional requirements for bibliographic records: an investigation of two prototypes
TLDR
How the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) conceptual model works in practice is established and if possible, solutions to problems found in two of the existing prototypes are identified.
Conceptualizations of the Cataloging Object: A Critique on Current Perceptions of FRBR Group 1 Entities
TLDR
This study reveals that there are different perspectives of what is introduced by FRBR as the cataloging object in the context of various interpretations of the model, namely Resource Description and Access (RDA), FRBRization projects, and FRBROO.
What Is Next for Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records? A Delphi Study1
TLDR
The results of this study provide a list of the most critical issues, based on importance ratings and group consensus, for future FRBR research and practice in each FRBR area.
Into the future: FRBR, the Semantic Web, and possible applications for music cataloging
TLDR
Results indicate that migrating to XML-based authority and bibliographic records, applying controlled-vocabulary tools such as Simple Knowledge Organizations Systems (SKOS) to LCSHs and LCCNs, and merging FRBR records with Semantic Web technology might allow music catalogers to begin harnessing the many potential benefits of theSemantic Web.
FRBRization: using UNIMARC link fields to identify Works
TLDR
The main focus is to examine the possibility of using the UNIMARC link fields in order to identify the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) Work entities and suggest that all records linked with 45X fields may belong to the same Work with the record which contains these fields.
