Assessing the Preservation of Derivative Relationships in Mappings from FRBR to BIBFRAME

Abstract

Support of the exploration user task demands the explicit representation of bibliographic families and of content relationships. Seamless navigation through differently modelled bibliographic datasets presumes the existence of mappings. Semantic interoperability through mappings will be evaluated using a testbed. This paper starts with the fine-tuning of a testbed for mappings from FRBR to BIBFRAME. Two Gold Standards datasets have been created along with a mechanism for the mapping of core entities and the derivation relationship from FRBR to BIBFRAME. This first attempt has revealed that derivations expressed at the FRBR Expression level are mapped to BIBFRAME more adequately than those expressed at the FRBR Work level.
