MARCXML

MARCXML is a digital format used by libraries to store and share detailed information about books and other materials. It is based on XML, a language that structures data with tags, making it easy for computers to read and exchange. MARCXML includes specifics like titles, authors, publication dates, and identifiers, allowing library systems to organize, search, and manage their collections efficiently. It helps ensure that library data is consistent, accessible, and compatible across different systems and platforms. Essentially, MARCXML bridges traditional library cataloging with modern digital data exchange standards.
