This is Dublin Core XML. Note how every field wrapper clearly indicates the content of the field. If I want all title fields, for example, I write code to retrieve all dc:title nodes. Easy.Permalink On Internet Archive

This is MarcXML. Note how every field wrapper has the same name and is only differentiated by numeric tag attributes. To get title fields, I have to look at every datafield, check if the tag of that field == 245, and then retrieve all subfields.Permalink On Internet Archive
