Either of those options would be fine with me. We support MARC21, which is a standard format for z39.50, and MODS is semi-supported. Supporting Dublin Core XML isn't a problem, but it would really help to have valid XML to start with. I am /not/ an XML expert, so I just accept what my tools tell me. Running xmllint on an ADS entry (appended) in TextMate gives a list of errors: validity error: Validation failed: no DTD found ! <record><dc:identifier>2007arXiv0710.5836G</ dc:identifier><dc:title>Tidal synch ^ error: Namespace prefix dc on identifier is not defined <record><dc:identifier>2007arXiv0710.5836G</ dc:identifier><dc:title>Tidal synch <record><dc:identifier>2007arXiv0710.5836G</ dc:identifier><dc:title>Tidal synchronization of the subdwarf B binary PG 0101+039</dc:title><dc:creator>Geier, S.</ dc:creator><dc:creator>Nesslinger, S.</dc:creator><dc:creator>Heber, U.</dc:creator><dc:creator>Randall, S.

Thecalculations of synchronization times are affected by largeuncertainties in particular for stars with radiative envelopes callingfor observational constraints. We aim at verifying tidally lockedrotation for the binary PG 0101+039, a subdwarf B star + white dwarfbinary from its tiny (0.025 %) light variations measured with the MOSTsatellite (Randall et al. 2005). Binary parameters were derived from themass function, apparent rotation and surface gravity of PG 0101+039assuming a canonical mass of 0.47 Mo and tidally locked rotation. Thelight curve was then synthesised and was found to match the observedamplitude well. We verified that the light variations are due toellipsoidal deformation and that tidal synchronization is establishedfor PG 0101+039. We conclude that this assumption should hold for allsdB binaries with orbital periods of less than half a day. Hence themasses can be derived from systems too faint to measure tiny lightvariations.</ dc:description></record> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
