Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies the requirements for a
generalized XML-based exchange format for bibliographic records as
well as other types of metadata.
It does not define the length or the content of individual
records and does not assign any meaning to tags, indicators, or
identifiers, these specifications being the functions of an
implementation format.
This International Standard describes a generalized structure, a
framework designed primarily for communication between data
processing systems, but may also be relevant for use as a
processing format within systems.
MarcXchange could potentially be used as follows:
-for representing a complete MARC record or a set of MARC
records in XML;
-for original resource description in XML syntax;
-as an extension schema to METS (Metadata Encoding and
Transmission Standard);
-for exchange of MARC records in XML;
-for transfer of MARC records in web services like SRU
(search/retrieval via URL);
-for publisher transmission of data;
-as a temporary format in all kinds of data transformation
or manipulation, e.g. conversion, publication, editing,
validation;
-for metadata in XML that may be packaged with an
electronic resource.
Validation of MARC records content is not enforced by the schema
but by dedicated software tailored for the specific usage (e.g. the
specific MARC-format).
