bibliografische

Bibliografische is an inflected form of the adjective bibliografisch (in Dutch) or bibliografisch/bibliografische (in German), used to describe matters relating to bibliography. In practice, the term functions as a descriptor for bibliographic data, sources, records, or references that document and identify written works. It is commonly found in libraries, publishers, and scholarly writing to indicate information about sources rather than the content of the works themselves.

In bibliographic practice, bibliografische gegevens (bibliographic data) include elements such as author, title, publication date, edition, place of publication, publisher, and identifiers like the ISBN. These data form bibliographic records used in catalogs, reference lists, and citation systems. Bibliografische verwijzingen (bibliographic references) point to sources that support statements or provide further reading, enabling verification and scholarly attribution. The quality and consistency of these data are essential for discoverability and interoperability across libraries, databases, and citation tools.

Standards and formats underpin bibliografische data. Widely used models and schemes include MARC standards for library catalogs, Dublin Core for metadata interoperability, and RDA (Resource Description and Access) for description practices. For publishers and retailers, ONIX codes publish bibliographic metadata for catalogs and distribution. Reference-management tools use formats such as BibTeX and RIS to store bibliographic records for citation generation. Taken together, bibliografische information supports accurate attribution, resource discovery, and scholarly communication, spanning physical catalogs to digital databases and automated indexing systems.
