Ontology of conceptual apparatus for processing bibliographic information

The study presents the state of the problem in theory and practice of ontology of conceptual apparatus for processing bibliographic information. It specifies the essence of the ontology of fundamental concepts of bibliographic apparatus. The structure of the “bibliography” concept is shown. The substantial characteristics of the bibliography are determined. Meanings of the bibliography, bibliographic information, bibliographic list, bibliographic record, bibliographic description, and bibliographical reference are explained. The important features of GOST 7.1 - 2003 and GOST R7.0.5 - 2008, which show the differences in the elements of bibliographic description, and bibliographical references, are highlighted.
