Bibliographical Relationships in Knowledge Organization Systems: A Historical-Theoretical Perspective

Abstract

: The study endeavours to analyse the bibliographical relationships provided by some prominent cataloguing codes in the 19th century that is, the codes by Panizzi, Jewett and Cutter, with the aim of highlighting the deep organization of cross-references. The bibliographical relationships in ancient catalogues are compared to the bibliographical relationships provided by the FRBR model and analysed in relation to the functionalities of- fered in linked open data format built by libraries. The study remarks that in the exposition in LOD format of catalographic data by Libris, data.bnf.fr and datos.bne.es, all the relationships provided by ancient catalogues are not provided.
