Grouping bib-1 attributes


Issue raised by: Watson Blaikie; CSC Australia; Fri, 6 Sep 1996 16:15:33 +1000


Synopsis:
  1. May several bib-1 atributes be grouped, for example, Personal Name, Corporate Name and Conference Name, under a single access point, e.g. 'name', presented to the user?
  2. If we support bib-1 does that require us to show bib-1 attributes to the user, or can our client translate the presented search attribute into a series of bib-1 attributes?

Response:
  1. Yes.
  2. "Support bib-1" (by a client) does not require the client to show bib-1 attributes to the user; the client may translate the presented search attribute into a series of bib-1 attributes.
