I’m writing on behalf of several librarians who are really interested in how Library World bibliographic standards appear to be mapped to supply answers via ChatGPT4.
When I ask this question in the ChatGPT4 dialog box:
to what other bibliographic standards can I map a MARC record?
(About mapping MARC records, see this webpage: MARC Documentation)
I got examples of the key bibliographic standards to which MARC bibliographic records can be mapped. After sending a MARC record in and asking for a detailed answer like so:
interpret the following MARC record and describe them in detail in terms of DCMI

I got a nice detailed reply.
Are the replies true mappings with MARC record data woven into text responses – without elaboration of MARC record data by ChatGPT’s other nifty capabilities? There are billions and billions of them out there…
FYI: There are 150+ bibliographic metadata standards out there (but the answer supplied by ChatGPT4 included the key ones): Seeing Standards
