Thanks to Sarah for starting this thread. It's a question I've been asking
myself a lot lately too. And thanks to those who have responded so far. I'm
especially interested in the suggestion to start from the bottom-up. I've
tried to keep myself familiar with MARCXML, MODS, and the like. But I keep
feeling that I'm not getting something. This bottom-up approach may be what
I'm looking for.

Tim, could you elaborate more on the languages you've suggested? Some brief
context (if that's possible) would help. Is any one of them a better
starting point than the others?
