I thought that a type had been defined - thanks, Mark. Looking at it, it's from 1997 and represents the LC MARC standard at that time (it says: "harmonized USMARC/CANMARC specification", whatever that is.) This brings up the usual question of what we mean by MARC -- the structure or the content -- and the fact that we don't have any versioning in place for the many changes that the MARC content has gone through. If nothing else, using this for MARC 'binary' would get you started. But it doesn't give you something you could use for other MARC binaries, like Unimarc. BTW, it also doesn't distinguish between bibliographic, authority, etc. MARC record types, since that info is in the Leader. That's what it says. kc Mark A.
