How does it work?•ROAD is fed by ISSN centres, national & international, adding a dedicated code•ISSN records are enriched by data taken from external sources (journal indicators, indexing-abstracting services, registries…)•ISSN numbers are used as a matching key crossing ISSN records / external databases coverage lists of journals and other resources

PRESSOO and the ISSN RegisterA specialized and detailed model was needed to represent serials and ongoing resources•“features” (frequency, medium...)•changes that affect them over the time (continuations, absorptions, splits...)•relationships they can have with other serials (linguistic editions...)Provide a linked-data friendly data model•To improve interoperability with other datasetsPRESSOO for the ISSN registry•Prepare the publication of (a subpart of) the registry in the LOD•Mapping of NCs’ MARC records to PRESSOO may be customized according to national practicesNow an official standard of the IFLA cataloguing section.

PRESSOO: an extension of FRBROO
FRBROO: object-oriented version of FRBRPRESSOO : FRBROO for serials and other continuing resources
–“An ontology which aims to represent the underlying semantics of bibliographic information about continuing resources, and more specifically about periodicals”
FRBROO chosen as a reference standard–For its object-oriented approach: convenient for
linked data–As it is event-centric: to express the dynamic
nature of serials–As it allows interoperability with other cultural
fields (as a CIDOC-CRM extension).
