IFLA Standards, UNIMARC and COBISS System: the Importance of Authority Data

Abstract

Bibliografska kontrola jedna je od nekolicine međunarodno visoko standardizovanih delatnosti. Opšte prihvaćen IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) uticao je na izmenu brojnih drugih standarda u oblasti bibliografske kontrole. U tom okviru uticao je i na UNIMARC i ISBD, a na kongresu IFLA WLIC 2022. radna grupu za reviziju međunarodnih principa katalogizacije objavila je da analizira uvođenje termina “rad sa entitetima”. U COBISS sistemu pomno se prate događanja u oblasti bibliografske kontrole i standardâ koji su sa njom povezani. Prelazak u novi milenijum bacio je novo svetlo na organizaciju bibliografskih informacija postavivši u žižu interesovanja normativne podatke kao osnovni tvorbeni element novog pristupa obradi izvora bibliografskog univerzuma. Stoga, najpre treba analizirati stanje normativnih podataka u mreži COBISS.net koje može poslužiti kao polazište za koncept razvoja i saradnje između zemalja članica mreže COBISS.net.Bibliographic control is one of the few internationally highly standardized activities. The generally accepted IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) has influenced the modification of numerous other standards in the field of bibliographic control. In this context, also on UNIMARC and ISBD. Moreover, at the IFLA WLIC 2022 Congress, the working group for the revision of international cataloguing principles announced that it was analyzing the introduction of the term “work with entities”. In the COBISS system, developments in the field of bibliographic control and standards related to it are closely monitored. The transition to the new millennium shed a new light on the organization of bibliographic information, placing in the focus of interest authority data as the basic building block of a new approach to managing the sources of the bibliographic universe. Therefore, first of all, the state of authority data in the COBISS.net network should be analyzed, which can serve as a starting point for development and cooperation between the member countries of the COBISS.net network also on this field
