I'm working on converting some ISO 2709 records into EAD. I think I have
the EAD generation part pretty well covered but I haven't found a
technical specification for the format of ISO 2709 records. I know this
is a bit off-topic but I guess some people here will have experience
with this. What I don't know is how to interpret the file format itself.
It seems to have one record per line, but each line is non-obvious to
interpret.
Thanks,
Pedro Côrte-Real.
