  2. About Me

  3. Functional Requirements for Bibligraphic Records (FRBR) • Reference Model for the design of bibliographic catalog systems. • Defines four different concepts of ‘book’ that might be cataloged. • Work • Expression • Manifestation • Item

  4. FRBR Group 1 Entities • Work • A distinct intellectual or artistic creation • Expression • The intellectual or artistic realization of a work in the form of alpha-numeric, … sound, image, object, movement, etc … • Manifestation • The physical embodiment of an expression of a work • Item • A single exemplar of a manifestation

  5. What questions can we ask of each level? • Work • Who wrote it? What is the subject? • Expression • What language is it in? • Manifestation • What size is the font or book? • Item • Is the individual copy available to me?

  6. Why ask these questons? • Work • Who wrote it? What is the subject? • Determine interest / Applicability • Expression • What language is it in? • Usability / Acccessibility (of content) • Manifestation • What size is the font or book? • Usability / Accessibility (of content within carrier) • Item • Is the individual copy available to me? • Availability / Accessibility (of the carrier)

  7. FRBR Applied to Scientific Data

  8. Two Extra Entities • Sensor • Converts information about its environment to a digital signal • Observation • Data created by the sensor • Necessary to unambiguously track if two works are different interpretations of the same data

  9. In this model … • Item • Is a logical item that might be identified via a URL. • Two items of the same manifestation would be bytewise identical copies • Manifestation • A logical embodiment, to include aspects of the carrier • How each datum is organized within the package • File format and encoding • Typically contains multiple expressions • Two manifestations of the same expression contain identical values within each datum

  10. In this model … • Work • Calibrated state of the data • Translation of the sensor output to remove sensor issues or to physical units • Two works of the same observation would be interpretations of the same raw sensor data • Also includes catalogs and metadata • But through other expressions, not directly derived from the observation • Expression • The numeric values encoded in the file • Two expressions of the same work would have been generated from the same calibration of the observation

  11. Limitations • Scientific Discipline • Each discipline has different requirements for attributes describing their data • Digital Objects • Does not deal with digitization from analog sources or generation of physical items • Non-Human Workflow • May need to model software and other aspects of the data workflow

  12. Limitations • Data Collection vs. Data Granule • Do we model each successive data object, or the full set of aggregated objects? • Similar to tracking journals vs. articles • Individual Objects vs. Dynamic Packaging • Scientific archives are moving to packaging on distribution, rather than storing the data in files • Data Archives Without Attached Metadata • Metadata is tracked as a supplementary work that may be contained in the same manifestation to prepare for this eventuality

  15. Different Observations 171Å 195Å 284Å 304Å

  16. Different Works

  17. Downsampled data 2x2 binned 5-min averages 8bit vs. 16bit pixels Lossy compression JPEG / JPEG2000 Datum extrapolation to fit a different coordinate system Any form of data loss Any form of data ‘creation’ to fill in missing data Different Expressions

  18. Different Manifestations • Changes in Carrier / Packaging: • Different metadata attached • Different file formats • FITS vs. CDF vs. HDF • Different aggregation • individual images vs. an hourly collection

  19. Different Items • Bytewise identical • Stored in different locations
