[edit] Overview

This section discusses several collections of BibClass with particularly representative characteristics. The examples have been selected in part to help describe both the range of characteristics and the "tensions" in the class. The examples include:

  1. University of Michigan Reports (MARC records, extracted, not currently available)
  2. Wing (simple bibliographic information)
  3. and the Michigan Ethnic Directory (opportunities to be had with reference works)

The University of Michigan Reports records were extracted from USMARC records from the UM Library's old library catalog NOTIS system. The records are fairly typical of cataloging in most regards, with a higher than normal degree of authority control and consistency in punctuation. (DLXS makes available an unsupported utility for conversion of USMARC records; for more information on bibliographic record conversion, see transforming bibliographic files.)

The Wing records are more characteristic of scholarly bibliographic citation projects, with, for example, shorter entries and specialized information such as holding libraries. Other brief citation resources in BibClass include the Official Index to the Times (London) (1906-1980) and Palmers Index to the Times (1790-1905).

One of the better examples of an unusual application of the Bibliographic Class is the Michigan Ethnic Directory. Not a "bibliographic" resource at all, the Michigan Ethnic Directory benefits from the relatively small, tight structure of the BibClass DTD.

The three resources described here (with samples below) help to represent the range to which BibClass has been applied. Some resources such as the Michigan Ethnic Directory have a problematic "fit" with the Class, requiring work to create special filters and add mappings for additional searchable fields, and may perhaps require the creation of a special reference class in the future. At the same time, BibClass capably handles both short citations and longer bibliographic records from online catalogs. This built-in tension will continue to be monitored as DLXS defines and extends its classes.
