The BIBFRAME standard (v. 2.7) lays out four types of metadata captured as administrative data associated with a resource.

• Creation of a resource

• Updating a resource

• Converting a MARC record into a resource

• General (other) metadata

The scope of this card is limited to administrative data defined for “Converting a MARC record into a resource.”

Converting a MARC record into a resource

• Software version → bf:generationProcess

• Agent of converter → bf:agent

• Date time of conversion → bf:date

• Status → always includes bf:status of “changed”
