TY - JOUR T1 - Item, Document, Carrier : An Object Oriented Approach JF - Cataloging and Classification Quarterly. VO - No. 50 (2012),439-455 A1 - Manzanos, Norberto UL - http://vufind10-pruebas.sigbunlp.bibliotecas.unlp.edu.ar/Record/dhu.ARTI10917 AB - I discuss the concept of Item as stated by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) in the conceptual model Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and the object-oriented version of it (FRBR OO). Using object-oriented modeling techniques I analyze the relationship of the Item with the Manifestation entity, the concept of Document, and the physical object as a Carrier of a Content. A class scheme is proposed, not only as an implementation example, but as a way of clarifying some bibliographic concepts as well.
