Re: Reading DC records

[Saiful Amin]

Hi Ed,

Please find attached the file I'm trying to parse. It is extracted from a OAI Data Provider in oai_dc format. The challenge is to preserve the Thai characters encoded in UTF-8.

I also have the same data in MARC21 format (UTF-8) encoding. But when I extract the required fields in a delimited file the Thai characters become junk. I was using version 1.38 of MARC::Record. Does the latest version of MARC::Batch handle UTF-8 text correctly?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Regards,
Saiful

That's because there are so many ways DC data can be encoded. If you
are interested in extracting DC from HTML you can take a look at
HTML::DublinCore [1]. What kind of file are you trying to read your
DublinCore from?
