Permite la incorporación de variado material bibllográfico y personas, registros que son luego utilizados por los módulos Préstamos, Adquisiciones y Diseminación selectiva de la información (DSI). Cuenta con facilidades de búsquedas guiadas, diccionario por campos, display con navegación entre registros, impresión automática de resultados de búsquedas, etc. Realiza impresiones standard y especiales (como listado de inventario, fichas en formato AACR2, entre otras). Puede operarse en cuatro niveles de usuario, lo que brinda protección para el trabajo en red local.This paper describes BIBLO, an automated system specially designed to help perform all tasks and services of a typical library or information center.

While it is an issue that has always been present in all these areas, it is since the arrival of IFLA FRBR model that the need for a clear answer has been pressing both to resolve practical problems -the cataloging of works- as theoretical also, i.e., the definition of work. We start with the definitions given by IFLA and other authors who have analyzed the FRBR model to demonstrate certain theoretical limitations in light of some texts produced from other knowledges such as sociology of art, semiotics, aesthetics of receptions and culture history. The article concludes that it is necessary to address a multidisciplinary study of the problem, in order to avoid errors in both theory and practice resulting from the application of the new model.

The software dynamically converts the original records, which correspond to manifestations and items of FRBR in a tree that begins in the work and then displays the remaining entities and relationships. In implementing this we have worked with the database of the library of the Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias e la Educacion of the UNLP, but because of the modularity with which it stands, the software can be implemented based on any other structure. To carry out this process, the software builds lists of authorities for works, expressions, manifestations, persons, institutions and subjects. At this stage the data used to build the entities and relationships arise exclusively from the informati...

The proposal leaves from the first group of entities defined by the model FRBR-ER (Work, Expression, Manifestation and Item) and incorporates some of the proposals of the other two models. In general, it rescues of these models the use of object paradigm, which leads to a more rigorous definition of concepts. It takes from them, among other things, the modelization of events, which allows the representation of the documents in its temporary process. It tries to deepen in other aspects that have not been treated by FRBR-OO yet: the lack of exhaustive classification, ontological status of the Item and its relation with the physical support, the problem of the responsibility and the function of the responsible and the problem of the names. Since the presented product is being used in CAICYT-CONICET’s databases ...

The main problem refers to the lack in FRBR of a conceptualization for attributes of Work. Both FRBR models, FRBRer and FRBRoo are analized considering, in the first case, the way attributes of work are treated, and the sub classification of class F1 Work in the second case. In the first case the analysis shows that FRBRer, although presenting a new conception of main bibliographic entities, has the weakness of being closely dependent on MARC format when treating other entities. In the second case, the dependency of multiple inheritance, derived from the model which FRBRoo tries to integrate, CRM and an abstract conception of object modeling -which neglected the concrete uses of bibliographic entities- leads to a complicate model, which has proved to be difficult to understand, implement and use. The proposed alternative, which is part of an object oriented model, is to conceive concrete bibliographic entit...

We analyze the characteristics of current bibliographic systems based on entity- relationship model.We defined the diferent levels on computer systems, (conceptual, logical and physical) and therefore we present the characteristics of FRBR relationships between work and document in the FRBR conceptual model. FRBRoo are described as an interpretation with object logic of the same functional requirements. Finally, future trends arise, such as moving from the entity relationship modeling to objects, the explicitness with consistent semantic annotation, mapping of existing bibliographic databases, the development of ontologies for integrate document systems into the Semantic Web

La utilización del término paradigma para referirse a lo que se denomina también orientación a objetos ya señala la existencia de distintas áreas profesionales dentro de la informática que presumiblemente parten de supuestos distintos. Pero aun situándose dentro del paradigma de objetos, considerándolo acaso una “escuela” dentro de la informática, no es posible establecer axiomas básicos, pues dentro del propio paradigma hay supuestos distintos, derivados de implementaciones técnicas distintas. En particular, la cuestión de la herencia tiene al menos t...

The main problem refers to the lack in FRBR of a conceptualization for attributes of Work. Both FRBR models, FRBRer and FRBRoo are analized considering the way attributes of work are treated in the first, and the subclassification of class F1 Work in the second. In the first case the analisis shows that FRBRer, although it presents a new conception of main bibliographic entities, has the weakness of been closely dependent from MARC format when treating other entities. In the second, the dependency of multiple inheritance, derived from the model which FRBRoo tries to integrate, CRM, and an abstract conception of object modelling, which neglected the concrete uses of bibliographic entities, leads to an abstruse model, which has probed to be difficult to understand, implement and use. The proposed alternative, which is part of an object oriented model , is to conceive concrete bibliographic entities as subclasses of abstract classes for WEMI entities.
