Abstract
This report forms part of deliverable B7 of the COPAC/Clumps Continuing Technical Cooperation project (CC-interop).
Deliverable B7 consists of automated routines to allow the collection-level description (CLD) database of the Scottish Collections Network (SCONE) to be output in various formats.
The formats of interest are those that other UK users of collection descriptions, including the JISC Information Environment, can harvest and use.
There is no single stable format for collection-level descriptions agreed or in use in the United Kingdom, so routines for a number of outputs have been developed:
• Text
• HTML table
• MARC21 display format
• RSLP schema in RDF
• IESR collection schema in XML
• Dublin Core Collection Description schema in RDF
This report also covers the HTML output used to display CLDs in the SCONE services.
During development of the output routines, a number of ambiguities and anomalies in external schema, and in the SCONE database structure, were noted, and recommendations made for resolving them.
