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.

MARC21 binary has a content-type of application/marc - see

Not sure about the binary MARC, but all flavors of xml should be typed to
either text/xml or application/xml, yes?

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?
With all the effort on making

Many thanks for your input. This is one of the packages that I am thinking of.
Good to know its accuracy.

Rather than defining new media types, I was thinking it would make more sense
to add a schema and/or namespace parameter to text/xml or application/xml.
Then you could use those types and append the parameter to indicate the
specific structure of the content.
Just a though,

Well, except this isn't legal. Parameters are defined by the RFC, so
you can't just pass arbitrary data with any request.
I had this same idea for embedding other content types within Atom
feeds, but... no go.

That would make sense if you want to actually change the HTTP/web

Looking at it, it's from 1997 and represents the LC MARC standard at

that is.)
