Title: BIBLIOGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS: TOWARD A CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURE OF BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION USED IN CATALOGING

Abstract: The study described in this dissertation provides the groundwork for understanding the conceptual structure of the library catalog in terms of bibliographic relationships. The research presented consists of an analytical study and an empirical study. The analytical study looks at various devices used in the past for relating bibliographic entities, as documented in 24 sets of cataloging codes, from Panizzi's "91 Rules" through the second edition of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, and considers both the historical rationale for the devices and their importance in the design process for future catalogs and cataloging codes. To achieve this end, it operationally identifies and categorizes bibliographic relationships in a taxonomy. The seven types of bibliographic relationships are: equivalence relationships, derivative relationships, descriptive relationships, whole-part relationships, accompanying relationships, sequential relationships, and shared characteristic relationships. The empirical study indicates frequencies of occurrence of bibliographic relationships in the 1968-July 1986 machine-readable database of the Library of Congress and correlates frequencies with five factors: bibliographic format, general subject, publication date, language, and country of publication.
