This single-page view presents the entire vocabulary on one page with an ordered list of classes and properties, followed by more detailed information further down the document. Links are internal to the page, and the browser back button can reverse your navigation on the page.
This display of the BIBFRAME vocabulary presents all of the properties, sorted into broad categories like titles, identifiers, relationships, etc. Each class view includes properties inherited from Resource, any parent class, specific properties for the class, as well as additional specific subclasses. Each class and property is presented on its own page in table form. When viewing tables, column headings can be selected to resort the information in that column.
Initiated by the Library of Congress, BIBFRAME provides a foundation for the future of bibliographic description, both on the web, and in the broader networked world. This site presents general information about the project, including presentations, FAQs, and links to working documents. In addition to being a replacement for MARC, BIBFRAME serves as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data. A major focus of the initiative will be to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 formats while preserving a robust data exchange that has supported resource sharing and cataloging cost savings in recent decades
