A Java library for getting easily metadata from a MARC21-XML source without knowing the insides of MARCXML standard.
- Create an instance of
MarcXml:
- from an input stream
InputStream is = ...;
Record record = MarcXmlRecord.from(is);
MarcXml marcXml = new MarcXml(record);
- from an URI:
URI uri = ...;
Record record = MarcXmlRecord.from(uri);
MarcXml marcXml = new MarcXml(record);
- Read metadata of interest:
TODO
- Convert to other standard object (e.g. DublinCore) and get metadata:
DublinCore dc = marcXml.toDublinCore();
List<String> dcCreators = dc.getCreators();
List<String> dcDates = dc.getDates();
String dcLanguage = dc.getLanguage();
List<String> dcPublishers = dc.getPublishers();
- MARC 21 Formats
- MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data
- Documentation for Dublin Core see DCMI Metadata Terms
- Extracting Dublin Core fields following the XSL-Transformation MARCXML to OAI Encoded Simple Dublin Core Stylesheet and http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/xslt/MARC21slimUtils.xsl
Tests are based
- on the example Marc21-XML (from https://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/Sandburg/sandburg.xml):
"Arithmetic", Autor: Carl Sandburg; Ted Rand, Verlag: San Diego : Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1993
- The Dublin Core representation of this book (https://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/Sandburg/sandburgdc.xml)
- The XSLT-transformation output
marc21-sandburg.dc.xml(appliedMARC21slim2OAIDC.xslonmarc21-sandburg.xml)
