CONSER Task Group on FRBR and Continuing Resources


"The FRBR provides great hope for the long-standing problem of multiple versions, an issue particularly problematic for serials and other continuing resources. Thus, it is extremely important that the complexities and requirements of continuing resources be fully incorporated into any solutions that are developed based on FRBR. With that in mind, a CONSER task force is being established to provide ongoing comment and analysis on the uses of FRBR for continuing resources.

Charge

  • Consider the entities, attributes and relationships as described in the FRBR and their application to serials and other continuing resources.
  • Provide serial examples for the paper "Displays for Multiple Versions from MARC 21 and FRBR"
  • Evaluate reports of the JSC Format Variation Working Group and provide feedback relating to continuing resources
  • Monitor activities regarding the use of FRBR and provide reports, analysis, feedback, as deemed appropriate."
