FRSAD: Conceptual Modeling of Aboutness explores the full dimensions of the IFLA's Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data model, showing how putting the model to work can ease information sharing across systems, domains, and environments.  Written by three leading members of the IFLA working group that developed the model, FRSAD moves from the theoretical foundations of knowledge organization to a complete conceptual overview of the model, to specific working guidelines for its implementation. The book is filled with insights into the factors driving the model's development, as well as numerous illustrative examples of its practical applications in real-world settings. It also focuses on the benefits of using the model when developing knowledge organization systems (KOS) within the library domain and beyond.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619144888593,"sku":"NLS9781598847949","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781598847949.jpg?v=1761535090"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-marcia-lei-zeng.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
