7 Location address module

7.12 Bibliographic location address

The element form bibliographic location address (bibloc) addresses information objects that systems are not expected to access automatically. A bibliographic location address always returns itself.

NOTE 205 The term "bibliographic" refers to the classic "bibliographic model" of referencing by means of a description; it does not imply that a referenced object must always be a printed document. It could, for example, be a video tape, radio or television broadcast, person, or organization.

NOTE 206 Useful standards may exist for certain forms of query in bibliographic location addresses, even though the located object may not be deliverable by computer. For example, the SMPTE 12M standard for Time and Control Code for Video Tape provides for referencing by reel name, time code number (start-time), and duration. If the object is deliverable by computer, a queryloc can be used with the same form of query.

NOTE 207 An application usually renders a reference to a bibliographic location by presenting the address itself, presumably with the intention that access to the object will be accomplished by the user.

The attribute bibliographic source (bibsrc) addresses another bibloc element that provides a context for the bibloc.

NOTE 208 For example, a bibloc that is a bibliography entry might have a bibsrc that indicates what floor in a particular library books in its category are on.

Although a bibliographic location address could locate multiple objects, it is not a "multiple location address element" as that term is used in this International Standard.
