Betr.: Sample Bib-1 record

Julie,

Maybe it makes sense not to invest in Z39.50 Next Generation (XML over http) and convert the different XML records to a common XML-format. The ZNG prototype 1 WSDL definition can be found at http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/jafer/zng/zng-p1.wsdl.html . The implementation barrier is rather low.

I'm a consultant working with Congressional Quarterly Press and we'd
like to be able to make our titles available via Z39.50.  The files are
in XML with locally created DTD's.  The current plan is to hire a
programmer to write a parser to convert the XML files to a GRS or other
acceptable data type.  I've got the Bib-1 syntax, but don't know how
it's supposed to look in the record.

Does anyone have sample they'd be willing to share?  Or know where I can
find one?

I've got a GRS record from LoC's MARC-SGML program, but I don't
understand its layout.  It doesn't clearly map to Bib-1.

And, if anyone knows of any vendors that might be able to work with us
on this, that would also be much appreciated!

Cheers,
