Community Profiles

• The BIBFRAME model is designed to be lightweight, flexible and accommodate the needs of our community. (RDA, Dublin Core, VRA, DACS, etc.)

• A key to this flexibility is BIBFRAME Community Profiles.

• BCP provide the backbone to using BIBFRAME. While BIBFRAME is a framework, the Community Profile defines what to the framework will contain.
