Bibframe?

[john]

Is anyone familiar with the bibfram initiative ?  It sure looks a lot like PBCore, but potentially better - wide adaption, oversite, etc..

Hi All,

Bibframe is a new metadata schema/encoding standard/serialization for
the library (and perhaps the archive & museum communities) into which
RDA records will be encoded (after we've transitioned from MARC 21). I
am on the Bibframe listserv, and there's a lot of potential for
encoding many kinds of content standards. I would think someday
someone would create a mapping between PBCore and Bibframe, at least
between the elements of the encoding. I think another question to ask
is whether you might want the descriptive elements of PBCore record to
be converted into RDA elements first before you encode them in
Bibframe. Or how the elements of PBCore map directly into the Bibframe
schema. But look at the listserv as well as the website:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/

The Zephira group who created Bibframe is working with independent
testers to test Bibframe in RDF, JSOHN, and other serializations of
the data, so if you're interested I'd subscribe to that listserv to
get more information and drive the conversation towards other content
standards other than

If I have mischaracterized it at all, please just look at the website
and the listserv (subscribe:
http://listserv.loc.gov/listarch/bibframe.html)

Thanks,

Thanks John, this is interesting. Just looking at it for the first time now, the framework does look like it takes a cue from PBCore, which has always distinguished works and their related instances, and since 2.0 has allowed for the definition of authorities using Linked Data. 

Am I understanding correctly that BibFrame basically a re-mapping of MARC/RDA elements into a new structure/ set of relationships (sorry, sometimes it is hard for me to grasp these things without seeing it in practice!)? If so, not sure if it makes sense for AV materials, since (from what I know) the existing elements are not that well suited to describing AV (e.g. no tech md, generations, parts, etc).

But it seems like if you wanted to express (parts of) your PBCore data within MARC/BibFrame it wouldn't be that hard to do since the structure is so similar.

Cheers,

Yvonne
