Their source XML is in a slightly customized DocBook DTD (not schema) version 
4.2. If you are referring to the XML Gartner delivers (our SXML), then that is 
a proprietary DTD that is included inside of the XML.

David,

The short answer is "yes." The long answer is, "yes, but you'll probably need 
to do some sort of conversion." I'd use XSLT for the transformation.

Do you know what schema Gartner uses? If you're lucky, it's something that the 
Library of Congress already provides a stylesheet for. If not (and it probably 
isn't, alas), chances are good you'll need a custom stylesheet to take their 
data and turn it into useful MARCXML (and from there you can convert it into 
binary MARC, and thence import it into Koha).

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Jared

Gartner can only send their article records to me as XML …  I don’t know how to 
get it from XML to MARC..
