Outline of Final Research Achievements

We proposed and evaluated an implementation model for a bibliographic information system based on the FRBR model of the bibliographic information model and the FRSAD model of the subject information model. In the proposed model, we developed the bibliographic system that handles the entities of work and expression from FRBR model and thema and nomen from FRSAD model for supporting user tasks. Our implementation model is based on the concept of the loosely coupled system architecture utilizing Web APIs, and has features and benefits in structuring and data sharing through the concept of Linked Data. As a data set, we targeted about 30,000 volumes of post-war textbook collection together with posted work records within the textbook collection, as well as Japan Decimal Classification 9th edition, and original textbook classifications as the subject information. The developed system has been released as an open source software "Next-L Enju Root" for general public.
