The MARC tags and ISBD display formats for the ABCD UNIMARC bibliographic database

Abstract

ABCD is a free and open integrated library management software based on the CDS/ISIS technology. Its first version, launched in December 2009, provided a MARC 21 format database. The second version, released mid-2012, provided the second international MARC format database, namely UNIMARC. But the MARC format is only designed for computer processing; for human beings, other formats like ISBD, AACR, MARC tags or subject/content are more indicated. This paper presents two display formats incorporated into the UNIMARC database that allow records to be displayed and printed according to ISBD specifications or dumped according to the MARC tags pattern.
