MAchine Readable Catalog(u)ing (MaRC)
‘The idea of using computers to speed up catalogue production goes back to the 1950s
but it was not until 1965 that MARC came into being’ [Bowman, 2003, p.10]

MAchine Readable Catalog(u)ing (MaRC)
‘MARC is the most widely used standard for the storage and communication of bibliographic data
within the world’s libraries’ [Oddy, 1996, p.63]

MARC is… ‘based on forty-year-old techniques for data management
and is out of step with programming styles of today’ (p24)
Recomendation 3.1.1. recognise that ‘MARC is no longer fit for
purpose’ (p25)

A major focus of the project is to translate the MARC 21 format to a
Linked Data (LD) model while retaining as much as possible the
robust and beneficial aspects of the historical format.

‘The new model is more than a replacement for the library community’s current model/format, MARC. It is
the foundation for the future of bibliographic
description that happens on, in, and as part of the web and the networked world
we live in.’ (p3)
