MARCXML
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In library and information science, MARCXML is an XML schema based on the fairly common MARC21 flavour among the bibliographic MARC standards.
It was developed by the US Library of Congress and adopted by it and others as a means of easy sharing of, and networked access to, bibliographic information.
Its fairly general nature allows it to be used as an aggregation format, as it is in software packages such as Metalib, though that package merges it into a wider DTD specification.
