FRSAD initial impressions
LIS research is being reborn, the recently published draft FRSAD again confirms this change. And FRBR, like, FRSAD is a concept model, is used to describe the basic framework of human understanding of the world, and traditional library science different, FRSAD research method uses a more precise formulation of the structure, making their research more is easy to be resolved, coding and processing. When people discuss the Library of precision, FRSAD demonstrated a feasible approach.
F RSAD used to describe the core of our understanding of the world, FRSAD the draft to explain their purpose in order to FRBR work (work) in the "on" (aboutness), a conceptual model. When we say "This book is about the 'Late Qing China, the parliamentary system' of" What is the meaning of this sentence? How to formally express the meaning of this sentence? The logic of this statement what is the structure? FRSAD trying to explain the program gives a. Obviously, FRSAD is closely linked and FRBR, FRBR she claimed the Group 3 for the model, ((FRSAR), 2009) but I personally think that, FRSAD significance not only in this, but more importantly, a more a wide range of cognitive models constructed to describe the world, in other words, the whole "objective knowledge" in the world to model.
Because FRSAD intentionally or unintentionally, the model for objective knowledge, then FRSAD of Gongzuo starting point is Feichang of philosophy to a large extent, FRSAD can be seen as a kind of epistemological model, if the back FRSAD philosophical roots, probably traceable to 亚利斯多德 time ontology.
F RSAD is the core of Thema-Nomen model, this model assumes that any work (work) [Note] have a theme, the theme is called Thema (CIMA), any CIMA can each expressed as Nomen (Norman). ((FRSAR), 2009) corresponds to the work (Work), CIMA is also the abstract, but Norman is the objective expression of CIMA, which in various languages, symbol tables Daxi Ma. This assumption is very important that this is the translation of any subject, indexing, authority control basis. Late Qing China held a parliamentary system, with regard to the subject can be expressed as keywords in Chinese, English can also be expressed as keywords, can also be expressed as the Chinese library classification number, can also be expressed as the Library of Congress Key words. So much expression as I understand it should belong to Norman area in which CIMA is only one. Because the presence of CIMA, the library can be a different indexing system can be used to describe the same document, only between different indexing systems may each map together.
T hema-Nomen model explained the main contents of Thema and Nomen attributes and relationships, which define the Thema-momen relationships between the key to the model, these relationships include
- CIMA and the relationship between Norman;
- The relationship between CIMA and CIMA;
- Norman and Norman the relationship between
F RSAD has been defined in detail relationships, see text.
In practice, the difficulty is the definition of various per class CIMA, you can use these dollars into the Five Elements class definition, it can also be used Ruan Gang praise in the sub-surface classification of the various surfaces.
F RASD is an enormous system, not one or two words to say clearly, nor is it a day or two to fully understand. The discussion above is only some of my preliminary view, may be not very serious misunderstanding, right when initiate a more detailed review will be published in the near future in his new blog http://www.cloudlibrary.info on.
In addition, FRASD project team is chaired by all of us are familiar with Professor Zeng Lei, so we will feel when reading FRASD cordial.
