Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue
of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users
ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards
Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this information is
supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’ and ‘Standards
New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give details of new
publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 96224.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee IT/19,
Computer Applications in Information and Documentation.
This Standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 8459-3:1994, Information and
documentation—Bibliographic data element directory, Part 3: Information retrieval applications.
The objective of this Standard is to provide the library community with a complete data element
directory for bibliographic use in order to support the transmission of information required for
information retrieval systems in Australia and New Zealand.
Users of this Standard are advised by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand, under
arrangements made with ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, that the number
of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover, inside front

cover and title pages.

The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of
the annexes to which they apply. A ‘normative’ annex is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an
‘informative’ annex is only for information and guidance.
For the purpose of this Joint Standard, the ISO text should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology The words ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’ should replace the words ‘this
International Standard’ wherever they appear.
(b) References The references to international Standards should be replaced by references, where
appropriate, to the following Australian/New Zealand Standards:
