I'm not familiar with this system but I took a quick look -- and like I said when a question came up regarding Sirsi -- any system fancying itself as a system for libraries that either doesn't provide the necessary exchange formats to participate in the community or (and this is the case for Sirsi and this system) hide their technical specifications and metadata behind a proprietary format; are simply bad actors.  If you aren't going to build the export processes, you should make your documentation as open as possible in hopes that someone in your community or outside community may.  

If someone on the list has experience with this group, I'm sure they'll pop up.  If you want to share data, you might be some helpful advice or a start on a potential transformation -- but with all the documentation hidden behind a customer portal, it would be difficult to provide comprehensive help.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] SydneyEnterprise XML to MARC conversion

Hello!

If anyone has experience converting the proprietary XML output of Lucidea's SydneyEnterprise or GeniePlus platforms into MARC, and don't mind sharing, I'd very much appreciate hearing about your experience and workflows. My institution needs to make this conversion for various sharing purposes.

Thank you in advance,
Teague
