FictionFinder demonstrates the power of FRBR The FictionFinder prototype provides a visible demonstration of how the FRBR model can facilitate searching and browsing bibliographic records for fiction. vizine@oclc.org http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/ http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/oclc_research_news.rdf April 1, 2004 <P>FictionFinder allows you to locate fiction for your reading pleasure. Records are clustered at the work level, and displays are organized by work and expression.</P> <P>Elements that are potentially useful in finding and selecting a work of fiction, such as summaries, genre terms, and subject headings, are extracted from individual bibliographic records, filtered, indexed, and presented at the work level.</P> <P>Records may be searched on title, author, fictitious characters, imaginary places, settings, fiction categories, summaries, subjects, literary forms, special forms, and ISBN. They may also be browsed on most of these categories. A benefit of a <ACRONYM title="Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records">FRBR</ACRONYM>-based interface is that results lists are shorter and easier to navigate, making it more efficient to find the best item for your purposes.</P> <P>FictionFinder was developed by Diane Vizine-Goetz and her research team, and is featured on the ResearchWorks area of the OCLC Web site.</P> <P>FictionFinder demo<BR><A href="http://fictionfinder.oclc.org/">http://fictionfinder.oclc.org/</A></P> <P>FictionFinder project (including information about <ACRONYM title="Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records">FRBR</ACRONYM>)<BR><A href="../projects/frbr/fictionfinder.htm">http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/frbr/fictionfinder.htm</A></P> <P>Diane Vizine-Goetz<BR><A href="../staff/vizine-goetz.xml">http://www.oclc.org/research/staff/vizine-goetz.htm</A></P> <P>OCLC ResearchWorks<BR><A href="../researchworks/default.htm">http://www.oclc.org/research/researchworks/default.htm</A></P> Diane Vizine-Goetz +1-614-764-6084 Bob Bolander bolander@oclc.org +1-614-761-5207 Consulting Research Scientist OCLC Research Communications & Programs Manager OCLC Research
