How can we work together?
Adoption of a common format (MARCXML)
and
Adoption of a common end-user interface (WebDewey 2.0)
. . . offer new opportunities for working together

Users
What could be shared?
• New built numbers
• New index terms and mappings
• Comments on translations in progress
• Comments on the DDC
Requirements for cooperation
• MARCXML format
• Data capture from users in a format compatible with
MARCXML
• For proposed built numbers, base number must exist in
source edition
• All proposals accompanied by provenance data (source
edition, institution)
• Translation teams serve as “funnel” for further
distribution
