Introduction


Goals and Principles of the Migration

– Internationalization of the German and Austrian standards for bibliographic data exchange

– Visibility of German and Austrian data

Data Models

– Multivolume / Multipart Monographs- Each volume has one record.

- Model A: 245 $a + 490 + 800 - 830

- Model B: 245 $a $n $p + 773

- No usage of 505 (except for component parts)
