Abstract

The Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (hereafter FRBR) has been adopted to address the relationships for bibliographic records and the related aggregate works. However, an approach to transform FRBR-based bibliographic relationships and their patterns into path-based rules for retrieval, navigation, display and data mining in the bibliographic space is still lacking. This study used the FRBR as a basis to analyze bibliographic relationships and their path-based rules. The novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was used as a case study. Up until now, 87 unique records were retrieved from OCLC's Open WorldCat for analysis. Two specialists in library and information science familiar with FRBR conducted in-depth analysis to achieve inter-reliability agreement. This study generalizes several patterns of path-based rules for associating bibliographic records and outlines related issues for future study.
