ABSTRACT The purpose of the Co on eommunicktion Format (CCF)
is to provide,a detailed'and'structured method for recordfng ma. number of mandatory and optional data elements in,a computer - readable bibliographic record for.exchange purposes between two or. more computer-based systems. However, it canalso be useful/Within non-computerized bibliographic systems. Not designed to be used as a manual by staff responsible for coding or otherwise preparing bibliographic descriptions for input to a computer syistem, this' document is meant to be a specification. to assist systems designers in devising local procedures and computer programs So that they Can exchange files in either direction with other organizations which may use the CCF. It is neither complete nor final, as much work remains to be done to test the current version of the CCF/and to provide assistance in its implementation..It is also expected that the scope of the CCF data elements, now confined to descriptions..of monographs and serial publications, will be expanded. This manual is divided into five parts: introduction, use of the format, data elements, codes used in the data elements, and examplesof complete records.

T e purpose of the CCF,is to provide a; detailed and structured method for recording a number of mandatory an__ optianal,data elements in a computer-readable bibliographic
record for'exchapge purposes between two or mofe computer-based
system q.'However, it canalso be useful within non-computerized bibria0aphic systems. Use of the data Jelements embodied in the' CAF inNuch systems will simplify computerization of their activities at A later date.
Unlike, some other standard forrmt'specifixations, this documeht was not designed to be used as a manual by staff responsible for ceding or otherwise preparin5 bibliographic descriptions fktp input to a computer system. Rather, it is meant to be a specification'to assist systems designers in devising local procedures and computer programs so-tAt-they can exchange files in either direction with other organizations which may use the CCF.'It is expected that the CCF will become the source for
J
;a
,
`many locally-produced input manuals and other specifiic kinds of
staff aids.
(
Finally, i:t must be emphasized th t the%content of this document is meant 'to be neither'comp4te nor final. Much work remains to be done to test the current version_ of the CCF, as ' wells to provide 'assistance in its .implementation. It 'is expelled that in time, the scope of the CCF dataelements, Row confined to descriptions of .monographs and 'serial publicatidhs, will be expanded. In any case, since ; the data elements listed within this document define a minimum tet, they must be regarded as a, core to be supplemented by additional .elements reqUired by 'special' situations, institutions', or materials.

HISTORY 'AND METHODOLOGY
In April'19,78' the Upesco General Information Programme
(Unesco /EGI) sponsored an' Intergationt6 Symposium on
,BiblipgraOhic'Exchange formats,lphiChVas held in: Taormina
Organized byttihe UNISIST-International Centre fee

't
(ICSU-AB),
InternatiOnal Federation ot Library Associati.ons. ti
and InstitutionsAIVLA), ana the .InternationalOrganiZation for
Standardization. (ISO'), the ,SympodsAm was.convened "tQ study the
desirability and feasabi-lity of establishing maximum'
compatibility between existing; bibliographic exchange-formats."*
Out
the Taormina Symposium a numberof recommendation's
merged,' t e most important.of which was.that the devekcpment'of
a common Abliographic exchange format that- would be 'useful tc
both libraries androther'information services was desirable and.
probably feasible, and that the develOpment.of this format
should be treated as a high priority item.
i
*' ti
Immediately following the Symposium and as a direct result 'of it, Vnesco/PGI formed the UNtISIST Ad Hoc Group on ,the Establishment of a Common Communication FOrmat (CCF), which' igCluded, as the Symposium recommended, experts able'to present the's vlews of a b'road spectrum of the information community.
Member)s of this Group work;d at meetings and .through
correspondence to produce the format as it appears in this
docOept..
.
The,Group's work was based. on a numberNof macr'decisions'
-which were taken
the ,following:
at
the
start
of
its
deliberations.
These
were
..,
That the structure of the new format would conform, to the international standard ISO 2709.**
That the tore record would cdnsist of :thbse'data
elements essential to bibliographic description,.
