Users

What could be shared?

• New built numbers

• New index terms and mappings

• Comments on translations in progress

• Comments on the DDC

Requirements for cooperation

• MARCXML format

• Data capture from users in a format compatible with MARCXML

• For proposed built numbers, base number must exist in source edition

• All proposals accompanied by provenance data (source edition, institution)

• Translation teams serve as “funnel” for further distribution
