Abstract

The current article analyses the changes proposed in the process of cataloging since the introduction of the Technologies of Information and Communication (TIC). The new Cataloging Code denominated Resource Description and Access which is ready to be published is presented as a standardization element which will reach the international level. The Code is founded on FRBR conceptual model, and it incorporates a new terminology, where four entities are defined (work, expression, manifestation and item). All of them should be considered at the instance of cataloging. The objective of this article is to analyse the cataloging object in the light of the new Code. The work identification is enhanced as a fundamental element in the cataloging process, as well as the establishment of the relationships among content and presentation entities. It is necessary that cataloguers carry out an interdisciplinary work next to other professionals in the work identification where the research task becomes a fundamental issue.
