Scan for MARC: conversão de registros bibliográficos analógicos para o Formato MARC21 Bibliográfico.

The objective of the book was to develop a theoretical-conceptual model of syntax and semantics in bibliographic records, based on Saussurean and Hjelmslevian linguistic studies of human language manifestations, which would subsidize the development of a computational interpreter aimed at converting bibliographic records to the MARC21 Bibliographic format. The methodological route of the research was based on a qualitative approach, with an exploratory, descriptive and experimental character and also resorted to bibliographical research. Some contributions on the theoretical level were glimpsed in view of the development of issues inherent to the syntactic and semantic aspects of bibliographic records and the proposition of interdisciplinarity between Information Science, Computer Science and Linguistics. Contributions in the practical field were made due to the fact that the study encompasses the development of Scan for MARC, a computational interpreter for converting printed bibliographic records to the MARC21 Bibliographic format from the description and visualization schemes of bibliographic records (AACR2r and ISBD), an aspect that was considered innovative in the research
