远洋留言,介绍OCLC的xISBN和LC的书目记录转换工具。xISBN以前关注过,LC的这个工具却是闻所未闻:
Search LC Catalog by Standard ID
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/tools/html/searchStdNum.html
[update 2008-9-20网址改为:http://lcweb2.loc.gov:8081/cocoon/test/html/searchStdNum.html]
输入LC控制号(LCCN)、ISBN或ISSN,选择格式,即可返回相应格式的书目信息,繁简各不相同:
[owc] OpenWorldCat View (OCLC的Open WorldCat显示格式)
[marctags] MARC Tags View (MARC字段名格式)
[english] English Tags View (MARC文字说明格式)
[ser2dig] Ser2Dig MiniBib View (不明,似乎是LC所用Voyager系统的馆员用表格形式)
[srwdc] SRW Dublin Core XML Record (SRW DC XML记录)
[mods] MODS XML Record (MODS XML记录)
[none] SRU Result Set with MARC XML Record (MARC XML记录的SRU结果集,这种格式可以是多记录的)
[rss] RSS View (RSS格式,最简单的信息加链接,这种格式可以是多记录的)
[mods2rdf] RDF MODS XML Record (SIMILE version) (RDF格式的MODS记录,SIMILE版)
逐一试过,看来它是用不同的样式表来显示不同的格式(上段方括号中即样式表名称),基本句法是:
http://lcweb2.loc.gov:8081/diglib/admin/test/sru.xml?stdID=[LCCN/ISBN/ISSN]&stylesheet=[样式表名称]
(在没有样式表名称,或样式表名称有误时,显示[none]格式)
如“Information circular”一书的RSS格式(此书较旧,没有ISBN,用其LCCN号86655102):
http://lcweb2.loc.gov:8081/diglib/admin/test/sru.xml?stdID=86655102&stylesheet=rss
这应该是一种Web服务了,可以适应不同的格式要求。看URL,试验中,也没查到有关该工具的说明信息。未来会开放到什么程度?
远洋2007/11听LC书目控制未来工作组报告,第一感想是“Users不光是人,还有applications”。这就是LC面向机器用户的一个试验吧。
不过,编目员也是可用的,在没有Z39.50客户端的时候,此法查书目比用LC联机目录速度会快很多,只不知道数据是不是完整。

Thought you would be interested to know another tool:
It is a record conversion tool that have been developed at LC. : http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/tools/html/searchStdNum.html
By typing an ISBN you would be able to see several formats for the item, including all popular ones related to MARC and MODS, as well as DC, RSS, RDF/MODS, etc.
Hope you can access it.
