About this Group

👐 Anyone can view all content in the group, but only people who join it can post to it. Anyone can join to participate.


Purpose: Provides a dedicated forum for the discussion of conceptual models, such as IFLA-LRM and BIBFRAME 2.0, that serve as the basis for current cataloging standards or are expected to provide a foundation for future cataloging standards in a Linked Open Data environment. Topics of special interest include: theoretical foundations of bibliographical conceptual models; the implementation of bibliographical conceptual models in information systems (especially Linked Data-based systems); extensions of current conceptual models; ontologies and conceptual models used in GLAM institutions.

  • 1.  Petition for renewal for the FRBR IG

    Posted Dec 02, 2009 06:41 PM

    Hello everyone,

    I am posting this message on the ALA Connect community page for the FRBR IG, and emailing it to everyone who signed the attendance sheet at the last IG meeting at ALA Annual 2009.  Apologies for any duplication.

    I have been informed by ALCTS Organization and Bylaws, that it's time to submit a renewal petition for the FRBR Interest Group.  This is something all IG's have to do every five years.  As part of the process, the membership of the IG needs to review the function statement of the group and either approve it or change it, and come to a consensus about whether or not to renew the group.  Now here's the trick: we need to have the petition in to O&B before Midwinter.

    The function statement, as posted on the ALA Connect page, currently reads: "Provides a forum for the discussion of issues derived from or related to IFLA’s Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, including implementation and research."  Does this still fit with our interests?  Do you have any changes to suggest?

    As chair of the IG, I believe it should be renewed.  FRBR and its related topics are still highly interesting to Technical Services librarians; we always have lively discussions at our meetings, and I think everyone comes away wanting more time to keep going!  I think this demonstrates that the IG is still relevant and timely.  Do you agree?

    As I said above, I need to have the petition turned in to O&B before Midwinter.  If you have comments, even if it's only to say "I agree", please post them here.  I'd like to close discussion by the end of December, so I have time to send in the petition and handle any issues that may come up before we all go to Boston.

    Thanks,

    Tami Morse McGill

    Chair, FRBR Interest Group

    hi, renewing sounds like a good idea. There was a good comment at Annual about outreach to other sections of ALA. Maybe we can think about incorporating such an initiative into the charge?

    Thanks,

    Jim Hahn

    I agree that we should renew.

    Jim, I wasn't able to make the meeting at Annual, so I don't know exactly what was said there, but I think that's a good idea.  It seems like lots of groups, both in ALCTS and the wider association, are expressing interest or even creating programs around FRBR (and some that should be interested don't seem to be.)  I'll add this to the agenda to discuss at our meeting.  I don't want to add it to the charge without more discussion and consensus of the membership, so I'm not going to put it in the renewal petition this time.  If the membership thinks it should be added, I'll look into changing the charge after we're renewed.
