How to: Export RIMMF records

There are a number of methods that you can use for exporting RIMMF records in a variety of formats–as:

• MARC
• RIMMF
• RDF
• XML

From an entity (Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item, Person, Family, or Corporate Body) record:

• File | Export to MARC <Shift+F7>
• For details, see Export to MARC

OR:

• File | Send to MARC Report <Shift+F8>
• For details, see Send to MARC Report

• File | Export to RDF <Shift+F9>
• For details, see Export to RDF

RIMMF records are simple text files, so you don't need to export them, you just need to know the name of the text file (which is the RIMMF Identifier for the record) and its location on your computer (usually in the RIMMF3 data file at ‘\Documents\RIMMF3\data’).

From a Manifestation record:

• Options| RDA Record sets | Save all … As Zip (RIMMF)

• File | Export set to RDF <Shift+F10>
• For details, see Export set to RDF

From the Entity Index:

• Select records to be exported
• <Export>
• For details, see Export from the Entity Index

From an R-Tree:

• Select records to be exported
• <Export>
