Common ground : exploring compatibilities between the linked data models of the Library of Congress and OCLC, 2015:p. 4 (In 2011, BIBFRAME was launched by the Library of Congress (LC) as an initiative to develop a linked data alternative to MARC, building on the Library's experience providing linked data access to its authority files which began in 2009. Among BIBFRAME's aims were (1) to supply search engines with descriptions of library resources in a form they could use, (2) to promote the application of concepts defined in the FRBR and RDA models, and (3) to offer an extensible solution for the description of resources in the broader cultural heritage community.

The BIBFRAME Model consists of the following core classes: Creative Work; Instance; Authority; Annotation)
