DESCRIPTION
The transition to MARC 21 as the exchange format in Germany and Austria is about to be done. After some years of preparation, with detailed analyses of the former format MAB and MARC 21, and in close cooperation with the international MARC community, libraries in German speaking countries have achieved a milestone in the process of internationalization German standards: We now are able to "speak" MARC 21, and to "understand" MARC 21. The German National Library, and some of the regional library networks offer their data in MARC 21, and can import MARC 21 data as well. The other national partners will follow. During the preparation, the focus was always to be compliant to the standard MARC 21. In addition, some decisions were made in order to retain existing data models, and functionalities based on the data. As a result, the MARC 21 data show some differences from data that are used in the Anglo-American cataloging context. These differences are: - Cataloging rules - Working languages - Series records - Models for multivolume monographs - Linking by record control numbers - ISILs as German MARC Organization Codes - Locally defined format elements - No ISBD interpunction at the end of subfields - Non-sorting control character technique. The presentation talks about the principles of the German transition to MARC 21. By showing MARC 21 examples in different implementation versions our approach is visualized.

Introduction
| MARC Formats Interest Group | July 11th, 20094
Goals and Principles of the Migration
– Internationalization of the German and Austrian standards for bibliographic data exchange
– Visibility of German and Austrian data
– Interoperability
– Compliance
– Existing models, and data, and functionalities
| MARC Formats Interest Group | July 11th, 20095
Circumstances and Frameworks
– MARC 21 is mostly used only as an exchange format.MARC 21 is rarely used as a cataloging format.
– Cataloging codes, cataloging rules:RAK, RNA; RSWK, DDC
RDA ...
– Cataloging language: German
| MARC Formats Interest Group | July 11th, 20096
Data Models
– Multivolume / Multipart Monographs- Each volume has one record.
- The work as a whole has an additional record.
- Records are bibliographically complete.
- Records are linked from part to whole.
- Leader Pos. 7 = "m" + Pos. 19 "#", or "a", or "b", or "c"
- Model A: 245 $a + 490 + 800 - 830
- Model B: 245 $a $n $p + 773
- No usage of 505 (except for component parts)
– Series Records in MARC Bibliographic
| MARC Formats Interest Group | July 11th, 20097
Record Linking
– by textual information, and
– by record control numbers- $w for Bibliographic record control number
in 76X - 78X, etc.
- $0 for Authority record control number
in 1XX / 7XX, 240, 6XX, etc.
– Each record control number is specified by a MARC Organization Code.- German Part: ISIL, maintained by Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (cf.
http://www.loc.gov/marc/organizations/other_assignment.php)
