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. Rob -- ,'/:.
