MarcEdit

The current release of MarcEdit 6.2 supports Bibframe 2.0 in three different ways.

MarcNext

MarcNext has been updated to support conversion from MARC to Bibframe 2.0.

Command line

The command line utility supports conversion from marc to bibframe, which is documented here

Windows > cmarcedit.exe -s z3950.mrc -d z3950bibframe2 -bibframe

Mac (using $MARCEDIT_PATH as an environmental variable) > $MARCEDIT_PATH/MarcEdit -s z3950.mrc -d z3950bibframe2 -bibframe

Optional options for conversions:
-idfield: Pairs with the bibframe conversion, sets the id field. Defaults to 001. Can be a field and subfield combination: i.e.: 035$a
-baseuri: Pairs with the bibframe conversion, sets the base uri. Defaults to example.com
-output: Pairs with the bibframe conversion, sets schema output. Valid values: rdfxml

Example

> cmarcedit.exe -s z3950.mrc -d z3950bibframe2 -bibframe -idfield 010$a -baseuri http://bibframe.example.org -output rdfxml

MarcTools

Similar to the xsltproc instructions, the marc2bibframe2 stylesheet can be integrated as one of the XML functions in MarcTools. The stylesheet is packaged with MarcEdit, located in %MARCEDIT_INSTALL_DIR\xslt\bibframe2\marc2bibframe2.xsl.
