The core of the framework is a MARCXML schema that allows lossless round-trip conversion of an ISO 2709 MARC 21 record and an XML encoded MARC 21 record. Because MARCXML is tightly coupled to ISO 2709, Information and documentation – Format for information exchange, ISO TC46/SC4 was requested to work on a general XML-based alternative for ISO 2709 at the May 2003 meeting in Rome. The goal was to generalize MARCXML so that any existing format based on ISO 2709 may be represented. A proposal for a generalised XML Schema was presented to ISO TC46/SC4 at the October 2004 meeting in Washington where a resolution was passed to initiate a new work project utilizing the working draft as the basis of the standard. This Standard describes a generalized MARCXML schema that is useable for all records using the ISO 2709 syntax without changing the structure and with as few changes as possible to the original schema. Thus, the original elements are reused and verbal links to the terminology of ISO 2709 have been added. The resulting schema is an extension to ISO 2709 as well as to MARCXML. The international exchange of records uses very few internationally recognized formats. MarcXchange is mainly intended for regional usage or as a framework for making regional schemas. Experience has shown that there is a need for regional deviations—even if MARC 21 or UNIMARC is chosen as the regional format. This schema provides a specification for the development of local simple schemas, ensuring compatibility.
