IFLA LRM

characterization and systematic mapping of scientific production

Abstract

Current technological progress requires updates in the practice of cataloging, to meet the complex demands of users, especially in view of the growth of documents produced, organized, stored and accessed in digital media. In this context, the conceptual model of the entity-relationship type called FRBR - Functional requirements for the bibliographic record, and its extensions, FRAD - Functional requirements for authority data, and FRSAD - Functional requirements for subject authority data, is created. The conceptual model for bibliographic data IFLA LRM – Library Reference Model was developed to bring together and consolidate the FRBR and its extensions, and remove barriers to its implementation. This article intends to describe the models, especially the IFLA LRM, through its concepts and characteristics. Furthermore, it aims to present a systematic mapping of scientific production on the conceptual model IFLA LRM. The methodology consisted in the elaboration of a protocol to integrate the elements to be investigated, the instances that guided the research and the objectives to be achieved from each verified resource. The research demonstrated the involvement of authors from different countries in research on the subject, reflecting its relevance today.
