DIFFERENCES • The Problem of Information Exchange • Different record structures and applications • Different contents designations for the same bibliographic concept • MARC21: 245 (title) • vs. • AGRIN3: 200 (title) • Different conceptual bibliographic metadata • Main entry/Open URL/Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records • Different cataloguing rules • AGRIS/AGRIN3: (401) Oxford (United Kingdom) • AACR2/MARC21: (260) |a Oxford ; |a Malden, MA (ISBD) • Variant treatments for different formats (one record/multiple records • Does an electronic format get a separate record?

7. AGRIS AP: What is it? • Benefits of the AGRIS AP • Exchange of agricultural DLIO (Document-Like Information Objects) • Improve interoperability and resource discovery • Based on Dublin Core with extensions of AgMES (Agricultural Metadata Element Set) • Harvesting of metadata and associated content for Open Archives • Possibility to access the actual resource from the Web

9. AGRIS AP exchange layer avoids the need for a single format • Platform independent exchange facilitates interoperability and reusability of information • Supports multilinguality • Maintains a level of quality in the collected information

11. New possibilities • Sorting/Processing with XSL Transformations • RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to create user-designed • newsfeeds • Web services for connecting all web-based information
