Abstract

This study is to propose a method for describing the attributes of works and expressions and their authorized access points in KORMARC for the application of the revised KCR5 by conducting a literature review, an analysis of KCR5, and expert consultations. Based on these, three approaches for applying KCR5 are suggested. First, for a KORMARC implementation scenario of KCR5 works and expressions, the attributes of manifestations and items are recorded in bibliographic records, while the attributes of works and expressions and their authorized access points are recorded in authority records. Second, the attributes of works and expressions may be recorded independently, as part of access points, or in both ways, and appropriate KORMARC fields or subfield capable of accommodating the relevant elements are proposed. When constructing authorized access points, the study suggests distinguishing elements based on subfields rather than punctuation. In particular, although many elements corresponding to the content of works and expressions have traditionally been described in bibliographic records as manifestation, these elements have been moved to the attributes of works and expressions; therefore, methods for describing them are proposed. Third, for the description of authorized access points for works and expressions, the study presents guidelines for the choosing and recording preferred titles and additional elements, and illustrates differences in authorized access points according to various types of works. Accordingly, this study identifies the characteristics of KCR5 reflecting FRBR, proposes methods for implementing these characteristics, and presents practical approaches for describing them in KORMARC. As such, the findings can be practically utilized by libraries when applying KCR5.
