MARC => MARC21XMLslim

Description:

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is basically a markup language like MARC.  However, XML is a much more verbose, and human friendly markup format, and as such, easier for users to manipulate.  Like Dublin Core, XML has been quickly finding a niche set of users.  In version 4.1, I have formally adopted the Library of Congress's MARC21 to XML schema.  Fortunately, this schema is really not much different from my original schema (the difference basically be the exclusion of a "-" labels), so this should be familiar to anyone that looked at the original XML schema.  

Example of XML:
