Further to Andy Powell's message below, the RDN SRW interface has been
upgraded to SRW version 1.1, which was announced in February 2004.
http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/
We welcome feedback on use of this RDN service; I can provide basic
clients in Perl (using SOAP:Lite), Python and Java (Axis 1.1) which send
a query and display the first record. If there is interest I would be
happy to refine the clients and improve functionality.
Alternatively, a list of SRW implementations is available at:
http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/implementors.html

> Note that it also supports simple DC and IMS views of the records.

> For those who like Perl, the following script uses SRW to
