This would probably make more sense over on the microformats-discuss list. Edward - visit http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss/ to join. I'm crossposting this over there in case this is a solved problem already...

There are a bunch of links about encoding MARC data in SGML/XML here:

   http://xml.coverpages.org/marc.html

Here's the official schema:

   http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd

There are examples at:

   http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/

It looks like MARCXML is pretty cryptic. The MODS or Dublin Core transformations might work better as a microformat:

   http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/Sandburg/sandburgdc.xml

Cheers,
Phil

hReview isn't quite right, and there's a lot
of potentially useful book metadata that
comes from a standard format (US-MARC)
and should be straightforward to map in.
