ISBD for Manifestation

ISBDM is related to several bibliographic metadata standards that are maintained by IFLA or are based on an IFLA standard.

ISBDM is a content standard and element set that implements the IFLA Library Reference Model entity-relationship model for the Manifestation entity. ISBDM metadata is designed to be encoded in UNIMARC or the ISBDM linked data element sets and value vocabularies in the IFLA namespace.

ISBDM metadata is designed to be interoperable with RDA: resource description and access.

ISBDM stipulations correspond to implementation scenarios A (Linked open data) and B (Relational or object-oriented data) of RDA.

All ISBDM elements are mapped to RDA elements, with minor differences in granularity that arise from the more restricted scope of ISBDM.

The IFLA Library Reference Model is the basis of the ISBDM ontology that includes the Manifestation entity, its attributes, and its relationships to other LRM entities. The standard is maintained by the IFLA BCM Review Group.

The Statement of international cataloguing principles (ICP) underpins the stipulations and guidance for determining the selection and values of attributes and relationships. The standard is maintained by the IFLA Cataloguing Section.

The ISBD International Standard Bibliographic Description consolidated edition is the basis of refinements to the LRM attributes and relationships in the ISBDM ontology with associated stipulations and guidance. The standard is maintained by the IFLA ISBD Review Group.

Names of persons provides additional guidance for determining the values of access points for related persons. The standard is maintained by the IFLA Cataloguing Section.

Anonymous classics standards provide additional guidance for determining the values of access points for related works that have no known creator.

• Anonymous Classics: A List of Uniform Titles for Chinese Works
• Anonymous Classics: African Literatures: Epics and Assimilated
• Anonymous Classics: A List of Uniform Headings for European Literatures

The standards are maintained by the IFLA Cataloguing Section.

The UNIMARC Bibliographic Format Manual 1.1.0 is the basis of refinements to the LRM attributes and relationships in the ISBDM ontology. The standard is maintained by the IFLA Permanent UNIMARC Committee.

The RDA Toolkit and RDA Registry are the basis of refinements to the LRM attributes and relationships in the ISBDM ontology with associated stipulations and guidance. The standard is maintained by the RDA Steering Committee.

The RDA/ONIX Framework for Resource Categorization is the basis of the ISBDM Category of Carrier value vocabulary and the ISBDM Category of Content value vocabulary. The standard is maintained by the RDA Steering Committee.
