Date: December 15, 2010
Time: All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description:
This webinar will cover the basics of FRBR, including its development and
contents. Participants will leave the webinar with an understanding of the
entity-relationship model on which FRBR is based, the FRBR entities and
relationships, and the FRBR user tasks. The webinar will then address, through
an exploration of RDA itself, how FRBR lies at the foundation of RDA’s
structure, and what implications that might have on future database structures
for our catalog descriptions.
Presenter:
