Sažetak
UNIMARC Holdings Format is a new format in the family of UNIMARC formats. The draft for worldwide review was posted on the IFLANET at http://www.ifla.org/VI/3/nd1/unimarc-holdings.pdf in 2003. The present, final version is the result of the comments received. The format is presented in terms of its purpose and scope, format structure, format design issues and the display of holdings records. The purpose of the UNIMARC Holdings Format is to facilitate the reporting of holdings data at national or international level and to promote consistency in the communication of holdings information and location of an item. The development issues to be solved were the following: (1) the level of depth of the format: how many and what type of fields are necessary to describe correctly holdings information ; (2) the description level of the holdings record: how many details are necessary to provide adequate information ; (3) definition of the boundary between bibliographic data and holdings data: the question whether a particular type of data is bibliographic or holdings ; and (4) the placement of holdings data fields as to the bibliographic records format and holdings records format: which bibliographic data fields are valid in the holdings format. The PUC finds it difficult to predict which transformation will have to be introduced into the format: to this end the placement of the holdings record within the FRBR model is planned to be considered, and the evolution of the concept of a “Universal Holdings Data Record” is being monitored.
