A three-year program to achieve a common MARC format was agreed on by the three libraries in December 1995. As most of the publishers use the SGML format to store their documents, a convergence between MARC and SGML is expected to occur.
In the Belgian Union Catalog, for example, the use of SGML allows one first to add descriptive elements stemming from the MARC format and other formats, and second to facilitate the production of the annual CD-ROM. The libraries also have to adapt their thesauri and their key-word lists.
