Quoting John Moss <[email protected]>:
I trying to wrap my head around the differences between Dublin Core
and FRBR. Is one based upon the other? If so, which came first?
1) totally unrelated, apples and grommets
2) DC started up first; FRBR was issued in 1998, but didn't get much
attention for the first 10 years of its life. DC was getting
increasing use during that time.
3) DC takes a 'start simple' approach whereas FRBR attempts to encompass
every bibliographic need
4) DC can be readily applied to almost any media/data; FRBR really only
fits human-generated things that have been 'published' in some sense.
