RE: Betr.: RE: Bib-2 and the DC-Lib

Rob's right.

The modular design of the Z39.50 attribute architecture allows for the use
of multiple attribute sets in one query.  If there are aspects of DC-Lib
profiled data that go beyond that which is carried in MARC-like databases,
then there could be a DC-Lib Attribute Set, if there is a body of interested
persons willing to go through the exercise of developing such a set... (You
may note that, at the present time, I don't see myself as part of that
group;-)

How is that an interoperability problem?

There isn't two ways to do a search, there's the BIB2 way for all that 
BIB2 defines and the extras are defined in DC-Lib-1.

There is no overlap, therefore there is no interop problem?
