  International Standard Bibliographic Description - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Standard Bibliographic Description or ISBD is a set of rules produced by the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) to describe a wide range of library materials, within the context of a catalog.
The ISBD standard is rigorously sequential, but some pieces can be dropped, as long as the sequence of the remainder is respected.
For instance, rules for a long version of the ISBD will be developed for application to the incunabula held in a rare book department while a very short version will probably be made up for special collections of published ephemera such as railroad tickets or business cards.

 ISBD(ER): International Standard Bibliographic Description for Electronic Resources
The ISBDs provide stipulations to cover the maximum amount of descriptive information required in a range of different bibliographic activities, and therefore include elements which are essential to one or more of those activities but not necessarily to all.
It is recommended that the national bibliographic agency in each country, in accepting the responsibility of creating the definitive record for each publication issued in that country, prepare the definitive description containing all the mandatory elements set out in the relevant ISBD insofar as the information is applicable to the item being described.
The ISBD description forms a part of a complete bibliographic record and is not normally used by itself.

 Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Description or FRBR is a conceptual entity-relationship model developed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) that relates user tasks of retrieval and access in online library catalogues and bibliographic databases from a user’s perspective.
The model is significant because it is separate from specific cataloguing standards such as AACR2 or International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD).

 ILRT - Overview of Major Library Focused Bibliographic and Related Standards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
This report is a review of bibliographic standards within the context of libraries, it covers major issues in the management of bibliographic data in library contexts and the various standards that are required to make such system operate and interoperate effectively.
It is important to understand that current bibliographic standards have evolved (primarily) in the context of physical libraries over a very long period (100+ years), to meet the requirements of librarians and library users.
ISBD (and at present FRBR) can be thought of as acting for the foundation of MARC and AACR2 in that they have both been amended to conform to the ISBD standards.
