National Standards for CNMARC Format in Progress

The two China national standards for CNMARC bibliographic and authorities formats began early this year.

They are supposed to be based on the newly revised UNIMARC formats (bibliographic format, 2008, and authorities format, 2009).

I am chairing the drafting of the authority format, and Mr. WANG Dongbo is chairing the revision of the bibliographic format.

The translation of the UNIMARC Authorities Format is about to be completed. I hope the job could be done in the next year.
