They are just marcxml records -- you can process them from MARC21XML=>MARC
translation.  However, I'm not sure I would use viaf for your authority
records.  OCLC will tell you they aren't authority records because they are
aggregations of lots of different records.  LC makes their data available
for download in MARC and MARCXML -- I would take them from there directly
unless you are specifically looking for authority data from other libraries.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Authority records from VIAF?

Hi all

We've found that we can download authority records from VIAF

in what they call "MARC-21 record" (which is not really; they seem to be
XML-based UNIMARC (or something like that) instead). Does anyone know how we
can convert these to MARC21 authority records?

With kind regards from the Dalton McCaughey Library Team
