古腾堡计划提供收录文献的MARC记录

在LISNew.com上看到Project Gutenberg Catalog available — as MARC / Rochelle on Sunday January 02，全文如下：

pamplemousse writes “I haven’t seen this announced anywhere, except on the PG lists, but Project Gutenberg now makes available a complete catalog of their archive, in machine-readable formats. Publicly, they have an RDF/XML version available — links at http://www.gutenberg.org/feeds/ — but there is also a MARC21 format available as .zip file or bz2 file
(Disclaimer: I know this because I wrote the conversion from RDF to MARC.) The intention is to provide a MARC file which libraries may use to add records to theie catalogs for PG titles. What’s needed now is for experienced and knowledgable cataloguers to cast an eye over the result, and provide feedback.”

这可是件很有意义的事，便于图书馆将古腾堡计划中的共享资源放入图书馆目录。于是下载了MARC文件。看后，确实如文中所说，”What’s needed now is for experienced and knowledgable cataloguers to cast an eye over the result, and provide feedback.”实在是有点简陋得惨不忍睹，也不能说是基于DC的缘故吧？在古腾堡计划的下载页面上也没见到让提供反馈信息的地方。
