La aplicación de la ISBD consolidada en la descripción de los recursos electrónicos: similitudes y diferencias con la ISBD(ER)

Abstract

A comparative analysis between the ISBD (ER) and the consolidated ISBD is performed, focusing exclusively on the description of digital documents. The aim of our study is to identify the similarities and differences between the two standards, in order to provide a summary of the changes made in the new uniformed rules. After an introduction which sets out the methodology to follow, the comparison of the rules is carried out. This review is divided into two parts: the first one establishes the historical evolution of both ISBD, while the second one provides the comparison of both form and content. Finally, the conclusions highlight the most important aspects of the comparison and identifies a number of proposals to facilitate the implementation of the consolidated ISBD regarding the description of electronic documents.
