I was wondering why MARC::File::XML did not work with #2 file?!
1: a single record: http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/Sandburg/sandburg.xml 2: a collection set: http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/xml/collection.xml The differences I noticed of the two are the prefix (marc:collection) and suffix (xmlns:marc). Were they the cause that reading MARC::File::XML outputting to MARC communication failed or something else? Any suggestion?! 1. <collection xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim"> <record> <leader>01142cam 2200301 a 4500</leader> <controlfield tag="001">92005291</controlfield> <controlfield tag="003">DLC</controlfield> <controlfield tag="005">19930521155141.9</controlfield> <controlfield tag="008">920219s1993 caua j 000 0 eng</controlfield> 2. <marc:collection xmlns:marc="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd"> <marc:record> <marc:leader>00925njm 22002777a 4500</marc:leader> <marc:controlfield tag="001">5637241</marc:controlfield> <marc:controlfield tag="003">DLC</marc:controlfield> <marc:controlfield tag="005">19920826084036.0</marc:controlfield> <marc:controlfield tag="007">sdubumennmplu</marc:controlfield> <marc:controlfield tag="008">910926s1957 nyuuun eng</marc:controlfield> Thank you!! --Jackie |Jackie Shieh |Data Loads & Development |Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library |University of Michigan |920 North University |Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1205 |Phone: 734.763.6070 FAX: 734.615.5138 |E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
