bibliographic collection

back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/spar/biro/BibliographicCollection

comment
A collection of bibliographic records, each of which references a publication (or a work in preparation for publication). Examples of bibliographic collections include a collection of the bibliographic records of all the publications that a single individual has authored, or a collection of those bibliographic records to be included in a research paper, where they are expressed as a reference list.

A bibliographic collection is composed only of items containing bibliographic records. Moreover, it cannot be part of other bibliographic collections, and it is realized only by bibliographic lists.

bibliographic record
c

back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/spar/biro/BibliographicRecord

comment
A record that uniquely describes a particular textual or data publication (or a work in preparation for publication). Each bibliographic record is a set of entities describing aspects of the referenced work, including, for example, but not restricted to: authors, title, journal, publication year, DOI, ISSN, publisher and copyright information, or, in the case of a data publication: creators, title, version, archive, publication year, DOI or other identifier). The FRBR expression of a bibliographic record is a bibliographic reference, which usually contains only a sub-set of these entities, ordered in a particular way that corresponds to the house style of the publication in which it occurs.

bibliographic reference
c

back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/spar/biro/BibliographicReference

comment
A textual reference within one creative work that references another creative work such as a journal article or a data publication (or a work in preparation for publication). The bibliographic reference is an expression of the bibliographic record of that cited work in a specific format. Each bibliographic reference is a list of items containing entities that describe aspects of the referenced work - for example authors, title, journal, publication year - selected from the bibliographic record.

bibliographic reference
en
example
:my-bibliographic-reference a biro:BibliographicReference ; co:elementOf :my-bibliographic-record ; frbr:realizationOf :my-bibliographic-record .
note
Note that because different journal styles may require omission of elements of the bibliographic record in references included in a paper's reference list (e.g. the title, the identifier, the names of the eighth and subsequent authors), and because errors can be introduced when an author creates a bibliographic reference, the bibliographic reference to a published work may not be a complete or fully accurate expression of the information contained within the authoritative bibliographic record for that work. A bibliographic reference is a realization of a bibliographic record. Moreover, it can contain only items referring to elements contained by the bibliographic record it realizes.

back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/vocab/frbr/core#Expression

comment
The intellectual or artistic realization of a work in the form of alpha-numeric, musical, or choreographic notation, sound, image, object, movement, etc., or any combination of such forms. An expression is the specific intellectual or artistic form that a work takes each time it is 'realized'. Expression encompasses, for example, the specific words, sentences, paragraphs, etc. that result from the realization of a work in the form of a text, or the particular sounds, phrasing, etc. resulting from the realization of a musical work.

work

back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/vocab/frbr/core#Work

comment
A distinct intellectual or artistic creation. A work is an abstract entity; there is no single material object one can point to as the work. We recognize the work through individual realizations or expressions of the work, but the work itself exists only in the commonality of content between and among the various expressions of the work. When we speak of Homer's Iliad as a work, our point of reference is not a particular recitation or text of the work, but the intellectual creation that lies behind all the various expressions of the work.
