Abstract
Abstract While cataloguing principles have shown remarkable persistence in the Web environment, cataloguing practices are becoming increasingly isolated due to their dependence on MARC coding. This paper explores an alternative: an experimental Document Type Definition (DTD), which enables bibliographic records to be created, encoded and styled using XML, which will be the predominant Web environment of the future. This DTD is based not on MARC but on the structure of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD(G)), as manifested in Part I of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules. The results provide a useful indication of ways in which XML capabilities-particularly the distinction between visual format and semantic structure-can be used to enhance the intellectual activity of cataloguing in an environment that permits far more interoperability with other Web resources and tools.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
