Bath Profile Amendment 2:

Recommendation on Reporting Levels and Syntax for Exchanging Holdings Information in Functional Area 5.B
Bibliographic Holdings Search and Retrieval


Originator:  Bath Profile Developer Group
Origination Date:  2000-09-25
Status:  Endorsed by Bath Profile Developer Group 2001-01-05


Preamble:

The Group discussed 4 models that underpin the search and retrieval of holdings information. The discussion, however, focused on the following model:

  • Holdings and bibliographic information are in separate databases but a previous query has returned information so the user knows that holdings exist.
  • A second query, using a local control number, would be sent to retrieve the holdings information.

Amendment:

5.B  Functional Area B: Bibliographic Holdings Search and Retrieval

Change the OID of the Holdings Schema to 1.2.840.10003.13.7.1

Remove the OID for Generic Record Syntax

5.B.1  Functional Area B: Level 1 Bibliographic Holdings Search and Retrieval

Remove the requirement for GRS-1 and add a requirement for XML.

5.B.2  Functional Area B: Level 2 Bibliographic Holdings Search and Retrieval

Level 2 conformance inherits all Level 1 specifications, and requires support of two additional Element Set Names:

  • C1: Minimal copy level holdings (i.e., copies only)
  • C2: Summary copy level holdings (i.e., summary holdings per copy)

5.B.3  Functional Area B: Level 3 Bibliographic Holdings Search and Retrieval

Level 3 conformance inherits all Level 2 specifications and requires support for four additional Element Set Names:

  • B3: Detailed bibliographic level holdings (i.e., detailed information about parts held per location, without details of arrangement into physical pieces)
  • B4: Extended bibliographic level holdings (i.e., detailed information about parts held per location, including details of arrangement into physical pieces with circulation information for each piece)
  • C3: Detailed copy level holdings (i.e., detailed holdings per copy, down to the piece level)
  • C4: Extended copy level holdings (i.e., detailed holdings at the piece level with circulation information)


Status:

  • Recommended by Bath Profile Developer Group   2000-09-25
  • Discussed on listserv   2000-10-23 to 2000-11-23
  • Endorsed by Bath Profile Developer Group 2001-01-05
