In this study, the present condition of 8 Open APIs for books, such as Naver, Daum, Aladdin, Amazon, Google, KERIS, LibraryThing, and OCLC, were compared and analyzed. In addition, the bibliographic records of 167 samples of visible 'light & paraphotic' (DDC 535) classifications were selected from the bibliographic records of the library of C university, and the effectiveness of the Open APIs were compared and analyzed. On the basis of the results of this analysis, 12 Open API application models, which were judged to be useful in expanding the function of the access point of the bibliographic records and enhancing the library catalog using Open API, were experimentally implemented. Various methods of augmenting access points of bibliographic records and expanded library catalogue were investigated using the unique identifier described in the KORMARC fields of 001, 010, 012, 020, 035, 246, 505, 520, 850, 856 for the integrated format for bibliographic data, and Open API. Finally, using Open API for the brief display and detailed display screen as a result of search of the OPAC of the sample bibliographic records, the devices for the expanding library catalog were implemented as examples.

The goal of this study is to seek for the method of effective DB conversion and related system development for the integrated KORMARC Format on the basis of the case of Sogang University Library. Since the integrated KORMARC bibliographic format was established, libraries have been converting bibliographic DB according to the new format. Loyola Library of Sogang University internally proceeded DB conversion using bibliographic DB convertor, which was developed and customized with a system vendor for Sogang University Library. The internal conversion enabled to correct or supplement bibliographic data errors. Besides, it enhanced stability of conversion and shortened the project time by adopting sampling conversion method. It was effective to reduce the additional work for DB quality maintenance, so this kind of conversion is recommendable to the library that has limited manpower for manual data correction.

BIBFRAME, which is attracting attention as an alternative to the machine-readable catalog format (MARC) in the library world, presents a new bibliographic data model in the open web environment while maintaining compatibility with existing data. To convert KORMARC(Korean data model of MARC) records into BIBFRAME, we extract 25 key fields by analyzing the latest 5,000 bibliographic data from Nowon-gu Library in Seoul. The extracted core fields are classified into three types according to the compatibility of MARC 21, and define conversion rules for each type. In addition, implement an open source-based converter to perform KORMARC to BIBFRAME conversion. As a basic study on KORMARC to BIBFRAME conversion, this study is meaningful in that it analyzes the latest KORMARC information actually used, defines conversion rules, and attempts BIBFRAME conversion.

In the library catalog, the scalability of information acquisition can be guaranteed by expressing various relationships existing between resources. Such a bibliographical relationship can be realized through the authority record. Therefore, the revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, the national standard for authority records, is inevitably important. Therefore, for the revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, (1) the latest international cataloging trends were analyzed, (2) the opinions of librarians were collected, (3) internal guidelines used for authority work were analyzed, and (4) latest version of MARC21 were analyzed. In addition, for the continuous revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, the revision procedure of MARC21 was investigated to draw implications for the KORMARC revision method. Data was collected and utilized through literature reviews, MARC21 analysis, interviews with professors and librarians.

This study makes some suggestions to cluster works from the search result of library databases. Specifically, the author suggests modifying the current practices and rules of KORMARC 24X field based on intent of RDA, which is the new cataloging standard. After identifying some problems in entering bibliographic data into 24X field, the author proposes solutions to such problems. The solutions include improvements in (1) Goanje description (관제기술), (2) use of uniform title, and (3) processing of marks, etc. The study demonstrates that users can conduct a fronted keyword searching effectively and identify the relevant bibliographic records easily from the clustered search results.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the issues resulted from the process of grouping KORMARC records using FRBR WORK concept and to suggest a new method. The previous studies did not sufficiently address the criteria or processes for identifying representative authors of records and their derivatives. Therefore, our study focused on devising a method of identifying the representative author when there are multiple contributors in a work. The study developed a method of identifying representative authors using an author role dictionary constructed by extracting role-terms from the statement of responsibility field (245). We also designed another way to group records as a work by calculating similarity measures of authors and titles. The accuracy rate of WORK grouping was the highest when blank spaces, parentheses, and controling processes were removed from titles and the measured similarity rates of authors and titles were higher than 80 percent. This was an experiment study where we developed an author-role dictionary that can be utilized in selecting a representative author and measured the similarity rate of authors and titles in order to achieve effective WORK grouping of KORMARC records. The future study will attempt to devise a way to improve the similarity measure of titles, incorporate FRBR Group 1 entities such as expression, manifestation and item data into the algorithm, and a method of improving the algorithm by utilizing other forms of MARC data that are widely used in Korea.

Today, if a work is created and published, new items concerned with it gets expended extremely. There are bibliographic relationships between the original work and new items as it is translations, revisions, reproductions, critiques etc. Bibliographic relationships refer to the connections and associations between two or more than two bibliographic items. Tillett's study with taxonomy, as well as other studies of the bibliographic relationships is used as the foundation for analysis of the work types. The current study examines the work types based upon the bibliographic relationships of Korean publications. KORMARC records of the Korean collection of the Chonnam National University Library is used to draw a sample for analysis. The research results of the study are provided for future studies on the KORMARC format and organization of Korean collections.
