It is an extension of the FRBROOmodel (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records – Object Oriented).

PRESSOO aims to propose answers to long standing issues with the application of the FRBR family of models to serials and continuing resources.
The Definition of PRESSOO was approved by the IFLA Committee on Standards and then endorsed by the IFLA Professional Committee at its meeting on 31 March 2017.
