Abstract

Although FRBR is becoming an important player in the bibliographic world, we have not seen many discussions or examples of how FRBR-based entities or relationships could best be displayed, explored or interacted with within a user interface. The paper presents a FrbrVis prototype as one possible approach to presenting FRBR-based bibliographic data using hierarchical information visualization structures and looks into how FRBR concepts have been implemented into an interactive user interface display.
