Dear colleagues,
I’d like to announce the launch of a new FRBR-based online music catalogue
at http://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au , which presents the Australian
Music Centre’s documentation of music by Australian composers and sound artists.
The catalogue adapts the basic FRBR framework to incorporate additional
entities beyond traditional bibliographic records, and to support additional
functionality such as retail sales. Thousands of sheet music and audio
samples are available through the catalogue, which also integrates our
calendar of events (concerts/gigs featuring works in the catalogue) and
online magazine (featuring articles about the people/works/etc held in the
catalogue). The collection was previously catalogued in a MARC based system
using AACR2.
Feedback is most welcomed as we continue work on developing the
user-interface (which is somewhat ‘raw’ at the moment...) and continue to
populate additional data.
Regards,
--
