XC Drupal Toolkit User Interface Drupal CMS • Discovery interface and library web application platform in one • Faceted, FRBRized search of XC Schema metadata • Extensive, easy customization • Established open source community • Data-driven web applicatons with web forms XC Drupal Toolkit
The XC Schema combines metadata fields from multiple standard schemas (RDA and DC) plus adds new XC schema elements.
XC Schema Fields DCMI • New XML metadata schema • Dublin Core terms • RDA - 22 elements and 11 roles designators • XC elements (contain MARC vocabularies, linking fields, etc) • Subset of RDA chosen to retain the granularity in current MARC data: • Frequency • Numbering of Serials • Coordinates of Cartographic Content • Plate number (music) RDA XC
XC Schema Record Types • FRBR Group 1 Entities + • Work • Expression • Manifestation • Holdings • Item
Creating XC Schema data from MARC • Parse MARCXML records into linked FRBR-based records • MARC Holdings records produce XC Holdings records (to preserve MARC granularity) • All XC records have globally unique identifiers, and a permanent host repository • Uplinks created XC Work Work Expressed XC Expression MARCXML Bibliographic Expression Manifested XC Manifestation OO4 “Uplink” Manifestation Held XC Holdings MARCXML Holdings
