Thank you for the pointer. I downloaded the COMET “suite”, and got good output, but only after I enhanced/tweaked the source code to require the Perl Encode module:

  ./marc2rdf_batch.pl pamphlets.marc

The result was a huge set of triples saved as RDF/Turtle. I then used a Java archive (RDF2RDF [0]) to painlessly convert the Turtle to RDF/XML. The process worked. It was “easy” more me, sort of, but it employes quite a number of sophisticated and underlying technologies. I could integrate everything into a whole, but… On to explore other options.
