Andrew,
I've got a alpha version of the XML schema and ruby code for
generating & parsing files. It's still too fragile for release though.
B what would be really useful for me now is to get some data on other
collections in whatever format it may currently be, and I can then try
to transform that data into this new format.

Do you have ( or know of) any catalogue data in structured or semi-
structured form?
