Purpose: The purpose of this study is answering to the question whether FRBR have a semiotic structure? Can FRBR model Be evaluated on the basis of semiotics?Method: conceptual analysis. Concepts of models by two prominent theorist semiotics field, "Saussure and Pierce" has been studied and the comparative study of the concepts discussed in these models with FRBR's entities and relationships.Results: Study the principles and concepts of Saussure and Pierce in FRBR Revealed that work and expression entities can be considered as a sign. Based on the dyadic model of Saussure has two aspects, mental content as the signifier and meaning as the signified which together make. The work as a sign can influence other signs and produce a new meaning. FRBR's entities also have capabilities matching to Pierce's triad model. When person show their mental ideas, work entity is created. The work created in the face of different people creates different expression .Similarly, expression entity when presented in different formats is held as items. FRBR's entities have the same function as the signs.

Aim: This study aimed at mapping the scientific structure of Iran biology as appeared in Science Citation Index (SCI) during 1990 to 2008 via Co-citation Analysis method.Method: 50 authors who were the most cited in 2121 articles which at least Iran was mentioned in their affiliation, were examined using factor analysis method and mapping techniques.Findings: The results showed Iranian scientific outputs in biology followed a high growth rate equal to 29.8. Factor analysis showed 11 Factors and scientific mapping revealed that there were 8 clusters in Iran Biology including: Pharmacology and clinical pharmacology, immunology, biology, physics, evolutionary biology, applied biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology, and cell biology.Conclusion: 1. In Iran, the area of “Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” are more considered by researchers than other areas; 2. The Iranian researchers of Biology have a medium position in the scientific map of this branch of knowledge.
