There are several formats to serialize MARC21: XML, ALEPHSEQ (from exlibris) ..

Subject: [librecat-dev] MARC21 beginner question

Hi,

Despite working in library IT since years I managed to avoid getting in
touch with MARC21 data - until now. Could you please help me with a
beginner question? How do I convert the "human readable representation"
of MARC to MARCXML? I use the example MARC records found at

https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/examples.html

I tried with all available importer of Catmandu-MARC but no luck. I
guess the human readable representation is not a real MARC variant but
how to I convert it to "real MARC" automatically?

Cheers
Jakob

P.S: Conversion should also work for leader-less records, e.g.

echo '100 1#$aSurname, Given' | catmandu convert MARC --type ???

{"_id":null, "record":[["LDR",null,null,"_","
"],["100","1"," ","a","Surname, Given",]]}
