Abstract

Purpose: To examine the latest developments in the field of consolidation of FRBR Models in connection with the Linked Data Environment, currently being done by IFLA.
Methodology: Desk research.
Results: The necessity of uniformity and integration of concepts and removing the reported ambiguities in three FRBR Models (FRBR, FRAD and FRSAD) have led to two developmental works in recent years which have been named harmonization and consolidation. Consolidation required bringing together three main FRBR models in one coherent and consolidated model for easier use; as a result, a new model named "FRBR Library Reference Model (FRBR/LRM)" was formed. The integration process was not merely a process to combine and modify three models, but this model has been the result of a modeling and redesigning process aimed to overcome the limitations of FRBR Models.
Conclusion: The FRBR library reference model with rethinking about the definition and the type of user’s task, entities, relationships and defined attributes for FRBR models and consolidating them in the form of an integrated model, provides the groundwork for the completion of previous functions of these models, the possibility of discovering knowledge and keeping pace with the requirements of the linked data environment.
