What is BIBFRAME?

BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework) is a data model for bibliographic description. It's designed to replace the MARC standards, offering a more flexible and extensible framework based on linked data principles. BIBFRAME uses RDF (Resource Description Framework) to represent bibliographic resources, enabling better integration with the Semantic Web and improved data sharing and interoperability. It aims to describe resources in terms of entities, such as works, instances, and agents, rather than focusing on physical formats. It is commonly used in library metadata management for cataloging and resource discovery.
