This study aims to propose considerations for the conversion from KORMARC to BIBFRAME based on the conversion from MARC21 to BIBFRAME. The literature review and analysis of the MARC21 to BIBFRAME mapping table from multiple layers by field and subfield of MARC were conducted. The characteristics of the MARC21 to BIBFRAME conversion included not generating redundant data, the significant presence of unconverted elements, and the use of a vocabulary encoding scheme. Based on these analyses, three considerations were proposed for the development of a mapping table for the KORMARC to BIBFRAME conversion in Korea. First, the development of a vocabulary encoding scheme for KORMARC, second, the conversion of field and subfield unique to KORMARC, and third, those that need modification for KORMARC among unconverted elements from MARC21. Through this, the study might contribute to the development of a mapping table and converter for KORMARC.
