Shared Characteristic

The field of knowledge organization, and cataloguing in particular, has increasingly become concerned with bibliographic relationships. Tillett (2001) developed a taxonomy of bibliographic relationships that is largely shared by Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), with the exception of the “shared characteristic” relationship including such features as shared creator or subject headings. This paper will offer another possible shared characteristic: “memes.” Memes are units of cultural inheritance and include literary tropes, character archetypes, and genre conceits, and can link otherwise unconnected works.  Le domaine de l'organisation des connaissances, et du catalogage en particulier, se préoccupe de plus en plus des relations bibliographiques. Tillett (2001) a développé une taxonomie des relations bibliographiques qui est largement partagée par les Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), à l'exception de la relation «caractéristique partagée» incluant des caractéristiques telles que le partage de créateur ou de vedettes-matière. Cet article proposera une autre caractéristique commune possible: les mèmes. Les mèmes sont des unités d'héritage culturel qui comprennent des tropes et des archétypes de personnages et de genre, et qui peuvent lier des œuvres autrement non liées.

Resource Description

This paper examines the role of genre in organizing bibliographic information through three sets of modern cataloging rules spanning 171 years: Panizzi’s Rules for the Compilation of the Catalogue (91 Rules), Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Second Edition 2002 Revision (AACR2r), and Resource Description and Access (RDA). Genre-related rules are identified on the basis of their inclusion of the keywords “genre(s)” and “form(s).” Then, the identified rules are analyzed from two aspects: the contexts in which these rules are addressed and four user tasks defined by the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)—find, identify, select and obtain. Genre is found absent in 91 Rules and mostly addressed in the note area in AACR2r, while in RDA, genre acts as the primary distinguishing characteristic of work and can be implemented widely as additions to access points, as separate elements, or as both. In conclusion, the paper suggests that the genre concept has yet to be clearly defined and its significance fully articulated in cataloging as well as in the broader discipline of knowledge organization.

Objetivo. El artículo identifica la génesis de los estudios del modelo conceptual Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), publicado en 1998, por la International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), con el propósito de desarrollar un nuevo abordaje sobre el registro bibliográfico. Método. Se recurrió a la investigación bibliográfica para identificar publicaciones científicas sobre el concepto de modelo y de modelo conceptual para entonces, a partir de las fuentes de información oficiales de la IFLA, tratar la génesis del modelo conceptual FRBR, a fin de investigar la trayectoria que antecede la publicación del modelo e identificar el debate intelectual en torno a su elaboración. Resultado. Se constató que el modelo FRBR nació con fines eminentemente prácticos, pues engendra un conjunto de expectativas en torno a la reducción de costes de la catalogación, indicando un nivel mínimo de elementos en los registro bibliográficos que atiendan a las necesidades de los usuarios, asociadas con los varios tipos de materiales y contextos de uso. Conclusión. El acúmulo del conocimiento científico, sumado a la dimensión de la experiencia traída y sostenida en el modelo, altera los paradigmas de la catalogación tradicional, aunque el informe final del modelo no presente los fundamentos que lo sostienen.

O Resource Descripton and Access (RDA) configura-se atualmente como a nova diretriz para a catalogação de recursos informacionais. As atividades relacionadas à elaboração de um catálogo necessitam considerar, primordialmente, as tarefas que o usuário cumprirá na busca da informação. O modelo conceitual denominado Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) arrola quatro tarefas básicas do usuário: encontrar, identificar, selecionar e obter. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar como a aplicação das novas diretrizes de catalogação RDA poderá contribuir para auxiliar na realização de tais tarefas. Com base na revisão de literatura, são apresentadas algumas considerações acerca do código RDA sob a perspectiva das tarefas do usuário. Conclui-se que a navegabilidade é a principal característica que um catálogo precisa apresentar ao usuário, desde que sejam desenvolvidos sistemas de gerenciamento de acervo mais robustos que os atualmente em uso adaptados às inovações propostas pelo RDA e pelos modelos conceituais.

The aims of this article are, first, to provide a necessary background to investigate the discipline of history from the knowledge organization (KO) perspective, and secondly, to present, on selected examples, a way of analyzing knowledge organization systems (KOSs) from the point of view of the theory of history. The study includes a literature review and epistemological analysis. It provides a preliminary analysis of history in two selected universal Polish KOSs: KABA subject headings and the National Library of Poland Descriptors. The research is restricted to the high-level concept of historiographical metaphors coined by Wojciech Wrzosek and how they can be utilized in analyzing KOSs. The analysis of the structure of the KOSs and indexing practices of selected history books is performed. A particular emphasis is placed upon the requirements of classical and non-classical historiography in the context of KO. Although the knowledge about historiographical metaphors given by Wrzosek can be helpful for the analysis and improvement of KOSs, it seems that their broad character can provide the creators only with some general guidelines. Historical research is multidimensional, which is why the general remarks presented in this article need to be supplemented with in-depth theoretical and empirical analyses of historiography.
