A NEW ASSIGNMENT (AMONG MANY OTHERS)

So,  I have a chance to choose a topic for my major project for my class Organization of Knowledge I. Among so many interesting topics, I chose FRBR - (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records). And you ask me: Why? Because I still haven't understood the total complexity of this new cataloging model. By all the research I have done so far, I know the changes will not be easy or fast, neither cheap. By my understanding a huge amount of records will need to be produced based on FRBR entities (work, expression, manifestation, item) and relationships. I can see how great that will be by having all records linked to each other by its relationships. Besides, the fact that all the information can be storage in a cloud to be shared with libraries around the world, it is just spectacular!! So...I am learning about this new cataloging mentally and I will keep you all updated!!
