Hi, PinkElephant is a name of a project for which we could not find a suitable name ;-)
It was made for the Holding Pen, it provides the easy-to-use API for manipulating the marc records and also to index them into the HoldingPen/database. The BibFormat then manipulates the records for display in the Holding pen. Have a look at the unittests (but a word of warning: it was made in two weeks before my departure for CfA, so it is crude) Jan has taken it over, so maybe there is already a different branch somewhere...
