One question we haven't asked is if we really need a MIME type for
MARCXML. :)

Thanks Ray. marcxml+xml makes sense to me, the name is really arbitrary,
so long as we have _something_ that represents MARC-XML. Glad you are
working on this.

MARC was registered a long time ago.

Some of the text is a bit dated and could stand some updating.
Patrick is right that an XML schema such as MODS or MARCXML would be text/xml.

I would strongly advise against text/xml, as it is an oxymoron (text
is not XML XML is not text even if it is delivered through a text
protocol),

Actually, re-reading some of the RFCs, I would clarify one thing.
It seems like using unregistered x- MIME type is discouraged, and
instead you are encouraged to use what is (claimed to be) a very quick
and easy and painless process of registering vnd. types. So I'd
encourage LC to

Because I write lots of software that will be fetching MARCXML from the
web, and needs to know what it's got.
I am actually rather shocked that it seems that MARC-XML, MODS,
MARC21-binary, do not have registered Internet Content Types (aka MIME
types).
Am I missing something, or is this really so?
Anyone know what the process is for registering such? Anyone want to
help try to do that? I guess we'd
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the mime type for MARC-XML and MODS be
application/xml, like every other xml file? As for MARC-binary, I can't
say. I don't have any of those files handy.

Not sure about the binary MARC, but all flavors of xml should be typed to

His point, though, is that you can't tell the format being used until
you open the document and try to negotiate it that way.
So if you think in terms of content-negotiation and a particular
resource is available in EAD, MARC XML and Dubin Core, you have no way
of expressing that.
Jonathan, this
You CAN use application/xml for any XML, but it's often useful to have a
specific type for your specific content, so the user-agent can know what
to do with it. The convention is to include +xml on the end, so if
the user agent doens't know your specific format, it can fall back to
treating
If anyone does want to work on it, I'd be happy to help. Maybe I'll
contact clay.
The most immediate and clear need I see is for application/marc+xml and
application/mods.
MADS could be useful, I dunno. Not sure if a seperate one would be
needed for MFHD?

I thought that a type had been defined - thanks, Mark.
Looking at it, it's from 1997 and represents the LC MARC standard at
that time (it says: harmonized USMARC/CANMARC specification, whatever
that is.)
This brings up the usual question of what we mean by MARC -- the
structure or the
value.
But whatever.
