Abstract
MARC has played an important role as the standard for the description of bibliographic information for a long time. This paper describes a Topic Maps-based bibliographic framework which is compatible with MARC21 formats and the same expressive power as metadata. The MARC record formats are modeled with aggregation relationships. This paper describes the implementation of this model into MARCXTM. MARCXTM consists of two modules: the implementation of MARC21 specification and the representation of real MARC record data. MARCXTM shows how to realize a compatible framework with MARC21 at the level of metadata within the current information technology environment.
