Abstract

Developed by Unesco in 1984 for non-library agencies, the Common Communication Format (CCF), offers a simple basis for machine readable bibliographic data for developing nations. Unlike MARC, CCF specifies no rules for description, permitting minimal records; and groups of fields called record segments permit relationships between fields and records. (Author/CDD)
