基于XML Schema的MARC元数据描述技术研究

XML Schem是W3C最近推荐的一个用于对XML文件中的信息结构进行定义的规范。本文针对目前广泛存在于各图书馆自动化系统中大量的MARC格式的书目数据,研究了基于XML Schema的MARC元数据描述技术,并重点解决了基于XML Schema的MARC元数据描述问题.从而使得专用的MARC规范格式的书目数据能被转换为普通机器可理解的元数据。

XML Schema, recently announced by W3C, is a standard for the definition of the information structure in XML. In this paper, considering the large amount of MARC data in numerous library systems, we present the MARC metadata description approach based on XML Schema. It enables the possibility of the conversion from the MARC specific format metadata to the general machine-readable metadata.
