MARCXML

“evolutionary path into XML for MARC21”Continuing investment in MARC formatProliferation of other schemasRapidly-growing XML environment

Mid-1990s: SGML DTDs for MARC21Bibliographic; AuthorityVery large, every element specified

Early 2000s: XML schema for MARC21MARCXML, “slim”Lossless roundtrip conversion

MARCXML elements

High-level elements<collection> and <record>Specify multiple records and single record

MARC field tags and indicators treated as attributesOnly 3 first-level elements requiredHence “slim”

MARCXML first-level elements

<leader>Treated as a string

<controlfield>Treated as a string

<datafield>Attributes for tag and indicatorsChild element <subfield>

Repeated for each subfieldAttribute for subfield code
