BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework)

BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework) is a standards protocol used by libraries to organize and share information about books and other media. It replaces older systems by creating a flexible, web-friendly way to describe, connect, and access bibliographic data. BIBFRAME models these resources through interconnected descriptions—such as authors, titles, and subjects—making it easier for libraries, publishers, and databases to work together and improve discovery. Essentially, it helps manage digital and physical library collections more efficiently, facilitating better access and interoperability across systems.
