Bibliographic description. General requirements and rules of compilation”. At the same time, the emphasis is on updating the conceptual and terminological apparatus, updating the structure of the bibliographic description and the distribution of the elements of the bibliographic description, taking into account the introduction of a new status – “conditionally mandatory element”. The directions of harmonization of the national standard with the international ISBD rules are outlined.
