Publishers (especially lately) go through a lot of changes -- being bought and sold, combining and separating. So the problem is less with the data format than in deciding which corporate body should be associated with a publication. Making this determination would be extra effort for the person creating the metadata. And it doesn't exist for the legacy data. That's the rub! kc -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
