Deskripsi

The purpose of this study is to explore the process of converting bibliographic records from MARC 21 to BIBFRAME 2.0, using the work of Hong Lou Meng as an example to analyze the process of converting MARC 21 bibliographic records to the BIBFRAME framework, including how to merge entities and how to adjust the MARC fields for converting MARC 21 records to BIBFRAME triples. The conclusion of this study is that BIBFRAME implements entity consolidation based on the concept of super work, and generates URIs in a hash function through a set of fixed vocabularies generated by author names and work titles, and attaches them to different MARC 21 fields. The bibliographic records with different relationships are linked by specific URI, so that the bibliographic records can be integrated by Hub. The bibliographic relationships that can actually be integrated and automatically linked by LC BIBFRAME database includes original relationship, translation relationship, subject relationship, and related relationships. For the Hong Lou Meng bibliographic records discussed in this study, four relationships can be presented. The key to the consolidation process is a set of author names and titles of works with a fixed format. Therefore, in terms of cataloging, the description methods and vocabulary of related fields need to be more consistent.
