For transforming records from XML to MARC, and vice versa, I would highly recommend yaz-marcdump, which is part of the yaz toolkit:
http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/yaz-marcdump.html http://www.indexdata.com/yaz It's a simple little command-line utility (easy to install on Linux or Windows). It can convert records from MARC to MARC-XML (handling painful things like MARC-8 to UTF-8 conversion), and can convert the other way as well. Then, check out the Library of Congress XSLT [1] that can transform MARC-XML to (and from) Dublin Core and MODS. So, with those two things, you can do conversions like this: MARC -> yaz -> MARC-XML -> xslt -> MODS MODS -> xslt -> MARC-XML -> yaz -> MARC Substitute MODS with Dublin Core, or (with your own XSLT) any other schema of your choosing. --Dave [1] http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/ ================== David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu From: anson parker [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 8:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-general] audio formats - and - xml to marc Hi Daniel - .ogg is a great format - open source, great compression... probably the best you're going to get... marc edit http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php - it's given me some grief over the last couple weeks... it's decent though and may work for you - i'm curious whether anyone knows of a better tool? ultimately i've been building sites in greenstone because the build process is so simple, now i'm working to get dspace running and use an oai pmh request to migrate the data..... a bit round about.. but dspace batch import seems meager at best....

Any recommendations for the best of all worlds regarding compression, quality, and access for users? Also, is anyone aware of any utilities for converting xml to marc or vice versa?
