Europeana Task Force on EDM-FRBRoo Application Profile
Europeana, (May 2013)Abstract
The EDM – FRBRoo Application Profile Task Force (EFAP-TF) was launched in response to the recommendations from the deliverable D3.4 from Europeana V1.0. This deliverable asked for an application profile that would allow a better representation of the FRBR group 1 entities: work, expression, manifestation and item. Additionally, it was to be conceived as an application profile of FRBRoo where each intellectual contribution (e.g., in the publication process) and the related activity are treated as entities in their own right, and does not depend too much on the notion of a bibliographic record. As a starting point they suggested the mapping of FRBRoo and EDM offered by the CIDOC CRM working group. The aim of the EFAP-TF is to extend, correct or restrict this suggested mapping and provide examples for the use of the combined EDM and FRBRoo namespaces.
This report delivers combined models in terms of properties and classes of EDM and FRBRoo illustrated by sample data. Smaller groups have worked on three different examples. The report also provides principles for modeling and mapping rules based on the experiments of the working groups.
