English abstract

This report explores the IFLA’s document Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). It discusses the notion of work in cataloguing as it was built since the 1950s, inasmuch this notion constitutes the conceptual framework for the proposal. Also, the entity-relationship database modeling (ERDM) system is described as far as such model provides to FRBR the operative elements that make it functional. ERDM gives to FRBR a user-centered approach as well. In its third chapter, the report tests the FRBR model through its application to a set of items belonging to the novel Rayuela, by Julio Cortázar, held at the Benson Latin American Collection of the University of Texas at Austin. Finally, some critical issues are raised along with general conclusions regarding the functionality of the model

Trabajo que tiene por objetivo explorar el documento Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), producido por IFLA. Discute la noción de trabajo de catalogación tal como fuera concebido en la década de 1950. Esta noción constituye el marco conceptual de la propuesta. Además describe, el sistema entity-relationship database modeling (ERDM), en cuanto a que dicho modelo provee a FRBR los elementos operativos que lo hacen funcional. El ERDM provee al modelo FRBR un enfoque centrado en el usuario. En el tercer capítulo, el informe prueba el modeo FRBR a través de su aplicación a un conjunto de ítems correspondientes a la novela Rayuela de Julio Cortázar, llevada a cabo en la Benson Latin American Collection of the University of Texas at Austin. Finalmente, se plantean algunas cuestiones críticas juntamente con las conclusiones generales concernientes a la funcionalidad del modelo.
