A COMMON COMMUNICATION FORMAT FOR BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA EXCHANGE

摘要

Development of a format for use in the exchange of machine-readable bibliographic information between the USA and the USSR is discussed. ISO standards will be used, where relevant, for carrier format and character codes. Extensions to UNIMARC have been proposed for content designators to accommodate the needs of abstracting and indexing services. A coin on listing format, including a transliteration scheme, has been developed for test and check purposes.
