This is comparing apples and oranges?
BIB2 is an attribute set. DC-Lib is an XML schema.
There is no interoperability problem as far as I can see, if there is
please explain it. If DC-Lib want to have their data searched via Z39.50,
and that can't be done wholly using BIB2, they define a new attribute
set to add in the necessary searches?!
I could define a new XML record schema that has all of DC-LIB plus one
more element. <rob:robsUselessElement> I'm not going to require BIB2
change just to support my new element! If I need to search it, I'll
define an attribute set with just one access point in it for it.
