Abstract

ABSTRACT This article provides an overview of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) with an emphasis on issues of interest to serialists. The basics of the Entity-Relationship (E-R) model are used to introduce the aspects of FRBR which can be used to model serial publications. Special attention is paid to the attributes and relationships of the article (the individual contribution in a periodical) and the article's relationship to its “aggregated” work (the issue and the journal). This article includes a short discussion of the serial “work” and of outstanding issues in the application of FRBR to serial works.
