O modelo conceptual FRBR veio apresentar um novo paradigma resultante do reconhecimento das limitações dos modelos MARC tradicionais. Descreve-se o modelo FRBR nos seus aspectos principais, seguindo-se a descrição da experiência levada a cabo e seus resultados. Os registos utilizados estavam nos formatos MARC21 e UNIMARC, pelo que apenas se testou a relevância do modelo FRBR para apresentação de resultados de pesquisa, não tendo este estudo incidido sobre a catalogação. INTRODUÇÃO Os Requisitos Funcionais dos Registos Bibliográficos – FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), publicados em 1998 pela IFLA, são um modelo conceptual cujo desenvolvimento resultou do reconhecimento das limitações dos catálogos b...

There is a new networked environment with access to more user-friendly search tools than those that exist in libraries, the OPACs, the On-line Public Access Catalogues. These became less intuitive and difficult to use.
This work has the goal of showing how FRBR, the Functional Requisites for Biblio-graphic Records, can help libraries with a better display of search results on catalogues enhancing better conditions for information access. Current catalogues provide long alphabetical lists of records. These displays, with no evident organization, are becoming more and more confusing to the end users. FRBR is a study produced under the auspices of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), that recommends a new conceptual model of the bibliographic universe with a strong user focus.
Libraries can make use of FRBR to display bibliographic records grouping them into relevant categories or clusters, providing a better understanding of what is being re-trieved.
Though the implementation of FRBR may bring relevant advantages to the world of libraries in the future, there is a legacy of millions of records in an old format, MARC, Machine Readable Cataloguing, that cannot be forgotten. Converting all these records to a new FRBR system would be a daunting task. The solution may be in the design of a new search interface that may display the information according to the new model without changing the catalogue. Researching what is being done all over the world in with FRBR applications as related to different types of collections and information environments and a brief description of some of the issues that have been identified in each area, was accomplished and integrated in TELplus, a project created to provide value-adding services and products for The European Library, with which this thesis is connected to a certain point.
Further, this work gives a detailed report of how, with this knowledge, a FRBRization of a sample of records extracted from PORBASE, the national union catalogue, was implemented, and a development of a searching tool prototype took place.
Keywords: OPAC, catalogue, information searching, FRBR, IFLA, FRBRization, PORBASE, TELplus project, European Library.

We are not providing an exhaustive bibliography or list of references of work related with FRBR, as many already exist. Our purpose is only to highlight what we identified as more relevant for supporting the coming up tasks in TELplus of analysis and design of a technical solution for a new FRBR search service for The European Library portal, reusing the bibliographic records of the partner libraries.
The remainder of this document is organized as follows: section 2 provides an introduction to the history and basic concepts of FRBR; section 3 presents the concept of FRBRization; section 4 presents a selection of effective services making use of FRBR concepts; section 5 lists the relevant technological products existing in the market and section 6 summarizes the main open developments and research efforts in course or held so far.
