Abstract

Bibliographic entities, the attributes used to describe those entities, and the relationships used to connect one entity to another form the basis of the conceptual model of the bibliographic universe developed as part of IFLA’s FRBR. The cataloguing standard known as RDA functions as an implementation of IFLA’s model. This paper primarily focused on FRBR’s Group 1 entities – work, expression, manifestation, and item – or, more precisely, on the comparison of the ways in which those entities, as well as their attributes and relationships, are defined and used in FRBR and RDA. The topic of bibliographic entities was first placed in a wider theoretical context of bibliographic organization, which was followed by a more detailed presentation of Group 1 entities and some of the more prominent issues relating to the model’s approach to those entities. Finally, the paper highlighted some of the similarities and differences between FRBR’s and RDA’s description of and general approach to Group 1 entities, their attributes, and relationships, as well as some of the issues relating to those entities.
