Why Invent SGML-MARC?

Migrate “legacy” bibliographic data Retain interoperability between old and new

systems Provide platform for experimentation with

new approaches to metadata Take advantage of new retrieval tools Allow integration with “meta-indexes”

5

SGML-MARC PROJECT PRINCIPLES Allow 100% convertibility both directions Maintain standards in parallel Omit unneeded MARC structure from

SGML-MARC Create conversion utilities to and from

MARC and SGML-MARC Design SGML-MARC records to be stand-

alone or embedded within SGML document

6

DESIGN PROBLEMS & ISSUES

Data Dictionary vs. Positional Definition Inclusion of obsolete data elements Inclusion of locally-defined data elements Functionality beyond MARC Character sets Entity references vs. URLs
