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,
--
