[TopicMapsInLIS] Topic Maps and FRBR

[Kevin Trainor]

Hi Katherine,

I believe that Professor Sam Oh from Korea is doing research related to
Topic Maps, FRBR, and Korean MARC records.  He will be giving a presentation
at the AToMS conference in Kyoto on December 12.  From the description of
his presentation in the program, I believe that he will be talking to some
extent about that research.

More Information about the AToMS conference: 
	http://www.knowledge-synergy.com/news/atoms2007-en.html 

I will send you Professor Sam Oh's email address directly.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kevin

Hi all,

I am a colleague of Liliana's in the International Master of Digital  
Library Learning (http://dill.hio.no) from Australia and have recently  
joined the list.  I read with great interest Alexander's comments from  
a previous post -

As such, the fact that Topic Maps is a meta data model in which you  
can model whatever else you have, it's perfect for things like FRBR  
(which is in the hotspot these days) .....

I have a background in music (along with my LIS qualification), and  
FRBR as you may or my not know has been described as "Metadata heaven  
for music librarians" (David Dorman,  
http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/techspeaking/2002columns2/august2002furber.c
fm).

My question to the list (especially Alexander!) -
Do any of you know about any work that has been done with Topic Maps  
and FRBR? It has been suggested to me that I should consider  
submitting a proposal for ISMIR 2008  
(http://ismir2008.ismir.net/)about TMs and Music IR, which got me  
thinking about the FRBR relationship.  Any help/thoughts/directions  
would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, and I look forward to many lively discussions and  
information sharing on this list!

Kind regards,
Katherine Howard
