Universal Bibliographic Control

Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC) was a concept championed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). Under the theoretical UBC, any document would only be cataloged once in its country of origin, and that record would then be available for the use of any library in the world. Current UBC practice is developed by IFLA's Bibliography Section.

During the 1970s, IFLA established an office for Universal Bibliographic Control.[1]

Dunsire, Hillman, Phipps, and Willer have suggested that Semantic Web technologies, including BIBFRAME may allow UBC.[2][3]
