CIDOC CRM+FRBRoo:

An Integrated View
of Museum and Library Information
Patrick Le Buf
National Library of France (BnF)
11 November 2013
Conference organized by Associa巽達o portuguesa
de bibliotec叩rios, arquivistas e documentalistas
and ICOM-Portugal
Museums and libraries

akin but different

mostly unique objects

mostly copies of publications

 How could they cooperate
(at least as far as cataloguing is concerned)?
Museums and libraries

different but akin

also non-unique objects

also unique objects

 and interrelated objects
Museums and libraries
  It does make sense to strive to make
museums and libraries databases
interoperable through a common
conceptual model
A striking coincidence

 1998: release of a
preliminary version of
CIDOC CRM by
ICOM CIDOC

 1997: FRBR model
approved by IFLA
FRBR: A Family of Models
 1998: Functional Requirements for
Bibliographic Records, FRBR
 2009: Functional Requirements for
Authority Data, FRAD
 2011: Functional Requirements for
Subject Authority Data, FRSAD
 2014: on the agenda: a single model
merging FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD
CIDOC CRM
 In the meantime, in museums
 1995: development of ICOMs CIDOC CRM
ICOM: International Council of Museums
CIDOC : International Committee for Documentation
CRM: Conceptual Reference Model

 2000: formation of CIDOC CRM SIG (Special
Interest Group)
 2006: CIDOC CRM published as ISO 21127
 Today: refinements still being made in the
CIDOC CRM + extensions for specific
domains (CRMdig, CRMarchaeo)
FRBR/CIDOC CRM
Harmonisation Group
 Formed 2003
 Representatives from
 IFLA FRBR Review Group
 CIDOC CRM SIG

 Objective: develop a unified model for
descriptions of both unique and nonunique objects
How?
 Early decision: CIDOC CRM as reference point
 Translate FRBR into the CIDOC CRM formalism
 Examine each attribute and relationship defined in
FRBR
 Find equivalents in CIDOC CRM
 Where no equivalent, declare new subclasses and
subproperties
 Refine FRBR notions deemed too vague
 Add some new classes and properties to CIDOC CRM
FRBR + CIDOC CRM = FRBROO
 2003: International Working Group on
FRBR and CIDOC CRM Harmonization
 2009: FRBROO version 1.0
(bibliographic data only)

 2014: FRBROO version 2.0
(bibliographic + authority data)
What does FRBROO cope with?
 As an extension of CIDOC CRM, any type of item
that is likely to be found in a museum:
 paintings
 drawings
 art prints

  plus most types of items found in libraries:





physical copies of a publication (books, CDs, DVDs, maps)
publications
abstract content of publication
performances

  plus the content of authority files:
 information about persons,
 corporate bodies,
 topics
How to use FRBROO?
 FRBROO is an extension of CIDOC CRM
 CIDOC CRM is a standalone model
 FRBROO cannot be used without CIDOC CRM

 FRBROO is a reformulation of FRBR,
FRAD, FRSAD
 Although this is not a requirement, it is
recommended to be familiar with the original
FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD
How to use FRBROO?
 Labels are but labels
 The codes are the genuine identifiers of
classes and properties
 Labels may be misleading
 All the intended meaning of classes and
properties is conveyed by scope notes
 Reading (and understanding) the scope notes
is a requirement
An Example
Stage
model
for:
Title: Ai amor sem p辿s nem cabe巽a
Performance of: Anonymous texts from 18th century
Stage director: Luis Miguel Cintra
Stage designer: Cristina Reis
Costume designer: Cristina Reis
Performers: Teatro da Cornuc坦pia
Venue: Lisbon, Teatro do Bairro Alto, 30 May-30 June 2013
How FRBROO models a stage model

Alto (Lisbon)]

[From 30 May 2013
to 30 June 2013]

F25 Performance

P69 is associated with

Transforming FRBR into FRBROO

WHO USES FRBROO?
CIDOC CRM+FRBRoo: an Integrated View of Museum and Library Information
CIDOC CRM+FRBRoo: an Integrated View of Museum and Library Information
CIDOC CRM+FRBRoo: an Integrated View of Museum and Library Information
CIDOC CRM+FRBRoo: an Integrated View of Museum and Library Information
CIDOC CRM+FRBRoo: an Integrated View of Museum and Library Information
CIDOC CRM+FRBRoo: an Integrated View of Museum and Library Information
Taiwan E-Learning and Digital Archives Program (TELDAP)
Example of a query that can be answered through FRBROO:

Who wrote an article about an object displayed in an international exhibition in Germany?
Already uses the CIDOC CRM
Is interested in the potential of FRBROO
In France
 ABES (Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education):
experimentation with an RDF ontology based on FRBROO:

 BnF: a project (in its infancy) to develop an RDF ontology
based on FRBROO
 Plans for collaboration between the two agencies
A few words to conclude
 FRBROO has a huge potential for the future

 Reuse of library info in museums and vice-versa
 Imagine applications making the best of these two
worlds

 But
 Lack of critical mass so far
 Lack of really cross-domain experiments

 FRBROO and CIDOC CRM are often said to be
too complex to be practical
 I loathe so-called simplifications. They always
result in huge complications on the long-term
