| Summary: | This study explores the feasibility of applying the object-oriented Functional Requirements for
Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model to MARC-based bibliographic records on the Al-Quran. Based on
the content analysis of 127 MARC-based bibliographic records on Al-Quran from the International
Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) OPAC system, this paper reports on the process of mapping FRBR
entities to set of works on Al-Quran. The attributes of the bibliographic works in the MARC records
were identified and grouped according to the FRBR entities. The findings suggest that, overall, most
of the MARC-based bibliographic records on Al-Quran were sufficient to represent the FRBR model.
However, several issues were identified as affecting the process of creating entity-relationship model
for “FRBRizing” bibliographic works on Al-Quran. These include inconsistencies in romanizing records
in Arabic scripts, difficulties in identifying complex works, missing fields for subject headings, and
missing fields for record-object relationship identification. Thus, a major conclusion drawn is that the
quality of MARC records is an important aspect in ensuring the bibliographic records are having
complete, correct, and reliable data for FRBRization process. |
