There's a <schemaInfo> element right under the <explain> element that carries that data. Here's a pointer to the Explain record for my LCNAF database. http://alcme.oclc.org/srw/search/lcnaf Don't let the browser fool you! View the source and you'll see the actual XML that was returned. The schemaInfo element is towards the bottom. Ralph p.s. For my LCNAF friends on the list, note the change to the <database> element in the <serverInfo> section. It now include the update date and number of records in the database! That's being automatically generated by the SRW server. > -----Original Message----- > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of > Jonathan Rochkind > Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 3:58 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [CODE4LIB] SRU/ZeeRex explain question : record schemas > > This page: > http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/resources/schemas.html > > says: > > "The Explain document lists the XML schemas for a given database in which > records may be transferred.
