The reference models listed below are relevant for the conceptualisation of the EFG metadata model.
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records is a conceptual entity-relationship model developed by the
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) that relates user tasks of retrieval and
access in online library catalogues and bibliographic databases from a user's perspective. It represents a more
holistic approach to retrieval and access as the relationships between the entities provide links to navigate
through the hierarchy of relationships.

Functional Requirements and Numbering of Authority Records (FRANAR)
The Working Group on Functional Requirements and Numbering of Authority Records (FRANAR) was established by the
IFLA Division of Bibliographic Control and the IFLA Universal Bibliographic Control and International MARC
Programme (UBCIM) in order to:
- - define functional requirements of authority records
- - study the feasibility of an International Standard Authority Data Number
- - serve as the official IFLA liaison to and work with other interested groups concerning authority files.
The draft Functional Requirements for Authority Data has been approved by the Standing Committees of the IFLA
Cataloguing Section and the IFLA Classification and Indexing Section in March 2009. The final text is being prepared
for publication as part of the IFLA Series on Bibliographic Control. It will be linked here as soon as it is
available.

ICOM-CIDOC
The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) provides definitions and a formal structure for describing the implicit
and explicit concepts and relationships used in cultural heritage documentation. Since 2006 it is an official
standard ISO 21127:2006. The CIDOC CRM is the culmination of over 10 years work by the
CIDOC Documentation Standards Working
Group and CIDOC CRM SIG which are
working groups of CIDOC – International Committee for Museum Documentation.
