CBS

Metadata management solution

CBS has proven its value as a leading edge bibliographic utility for major library consortia around the world.

CBS offers a completely scalable approach to the building and maintenance of bibliographic databases. It can be configured to cater for multiple metadata types and formats (from MARC21 and UNIMARC to any other localised format).

CBS can be linked to WorldCat. This link (based on the SRU protocol) enables an instantaneous, bi-directional synchronisation of bibliographic data.

Library consortia implementing catalogues using CBS are viewed by OCLC as ‘partners’ with regular meetings convened between CBS partners and OCLC.
