This research work is an experiment with the latest theory of bibliographic relationships as proposed by Murray & Tillett and is known as graph-friendly theory for biblio-cultural relationships. It sets objectives to develop a prototype digital archive of cultural text in an Indian language with the provision for bibliographic relationships based navigation to support the new user task ‘to explore’ included in IFLA-LRM, discusses groundbreaking theories of bibliographic relationships from the time of Panizzi to date, formulates research questions that are related to developing the prototype, and finally demonstrates the navigational framework through biblio-cultural relationships by using an array of open source software and open standards.
