Modeling Subject Access: Extending the FRBR and FRANAR Conceptual Models
Tom Delsey · Cataloging & Classification Quarterly · 2005
SUMMARY The paper highlights key aspects of the FRBR and FRANAR models that will need to be re-examined as part of a more intensive analysis of subject access, and suggests ways of approaching the refinement and extension of the models. Questions are raised about the current scope of coverage represented by the entities defined in the models, the need to define additional entity attributes, and the representation of both the semantic and syntactic relationships reflected in thesauri, subject heading lists, classification schemes, and indexing strings.
