Converting any MARC serialization (e.g. binary MARC) to MARCXML and converting from any SKOS RDF serialization to SKOS XML is possible with standard tools, so the hard part is converting from MARC21 to SKOS. There are two variants of MARC21 that can be converted to SKOS:

- https://www.loc.gov/marc/classification/
- https://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/

We have used mc2skos for both with success, but the devil is in the details. As you can see at https://github.com/scriptotek/mc2skos there are some open issues and a pull request, so you may want to contact Dan Michael O. Heggøh if something is missing.

Betreff: [CODE4LIB] Convert MARCXML to SKOS XML file

Dear colleagues,

Does anyone know of a good application or script that converts MARCXML to
SKOS XML?

I found the following two scripts on github.  Anyone have experience or
comments to share?

https://github.com/scriptotek/mc2skos

https://github.com/lcnetdev/marcauth-to-madsrdf


Thanks so much in advance.

Yongming
