Bibliographic Relationships: From Principles to Practice

This research work is an experiment with the latest theory of bibliographic relationships
as proposed by Murray & Tillett and is known as graph-friendly theory for biblio-cultural
relationships. It sets objectives to develop a prototype digital archive of cultural text in
an Indian language with the provision for bibliographic relationships based navigation
to support the new user task ‘to explore’ included in IFLA-LRM, discusses groundbreaking
theories of bibliographic relationships from the time of Panizzi to date, formulates research
questions that are related to developing the prototype, and finally demonstrates the
navigational framework through biblio-cultural relationships by using an array of open
source software and open standards.
