“Lack of demand, particularly since many catalogs contain a lot of garbage metadata and/or resources that others cannot access. Plus, the information goes stale quickly. Not that there's no use for this information, but not that many people are asking.

Kyle Bannerjee, Digital Collections and Metadata Librarian, OHSU

What is BIBFRAME?

“In addition to being a replacement for MARC, BIBFRAME serves as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data. A major focus of the initiative will be to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 formats while preserving a robust data exchange that has supported resource sharing and cataloging cost savings in recent decades.”

howtouse.html • The BIBFRAME Editor (BFE) is a simple tool that

enables input of any BIBFRAME vocabulary element. The BFE will be frequently improved as small features are added and user comments come in. There is a Demo version that you may directly experiment with. In addition, our primary purpose for the tool is the open source Download version of the software that you may take and integrate into your experimental systems, enabling many features that the Demo cannot provide.
