DDB CMS is the danish libraries common website platform, maintained and developed by DDB in collaboration with libraries
DanBib is the joint bibliographic superstructure system for the entire Danish library service.
DanBib contains a shared bibliographic database of the National Bibliography and the holdings of all Danish libraries. The DanBib base contains around 28.5 million items and is updated daily.
DanBib is both the joint national catalogue and the libraries’ digital infrastructure. The system also includes joint functions for inter-library loans, the reuse of bibliographic data, verification and redirection to relevant foreign databases. The use of shared technical and bibliographic standards binds DanBib and libraries’ local systems together.
DanBib is made available as a basic service that can be supplemented with a number of other databases and services. It is operated and developed by DBC.

danMARC2 is the official Danish format for cataloging bibliographic data for library systems. It was developed in agreement between public libraries, research libraries and the National Biography and adopted in December 1996. It is a variant of the international format MARC, but danMARC2 contains inter alia special fields regarding library tax and Danish nouns that make the format incompatible with MARC.

(Danish: Databrønden) Data repository for bibliographic meta data in danish libraries maintained by DBC
DBC (English: Danish Library Center) is a public company, owned by Local Government Denmark and and the Ministry of Culture. DBC’s main task is to develop and maintain the bibliographic and IT infrastructure in the Danish libraries on the national level:
Libraries and branches are identified by a unique ISIL-number. This ID is the only unique ID to reference a library or a branch. ISIL is an international standard. ID for danish libraries are requested from Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces. Please refer to the documentation (in danish only)
Danish ISIL-numbers uses a “DK-“ prefix followed by 6 digits. First digit is a type indicator:
| Indicator | Type | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | Nordic libraries | National |
| 8 | Educational or research libraries | ISIL |
| 7 | Public libraries 1 | ISIL |
| 6 | Educational learning centers (i.e. School libraries) | ISIL |
| 5 | Private libraries (Corporate or Gymnasium ) | National |
1 For public libraries the type is followed by a three digit municipality number (ref!) and a two digit branch code. Main libraries is always indicated by branch code “00” and the type option “H” in /libraries (ref!).
Example:
| ISIL | Name |
|---|---|
| DK-820040 | The Royal Library, Roskilde University Library |
| DK-726500 | Roskilde Bibliotek |
| DK-625503 | Margretheskolen, Roskilde |
These ISIL numbers will expand to:
| ISIL | Country code | Type | Municipality | Branch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DK‑820040 | DK‑ (Denmark) | 8 (Research library) | 2004 (The Royal Library) | 0 (Roskilde University Library) |
| DK‑726500 | DK‑ (Denmark) | 7 (public library) | 265 (Roskilde) | 00 (Main library) |
| DK‑625503 | DK‑ (Denmark) | 6 (School) | 255 (now Roskilde) | 00 (Main library) |

abbreviation of “Persistent IDentifier”. The intention to give digital objects a unique and permanent ID, which makes it possible to refer uniquely to the object. The PID concept also contains mechanisms that ensure that the object can always be found independently of changes in the object’s location and organizational ownership. PID in the Data Well is combined of three elements: Library ID, collection and FAUST number (ID-_collection_:FAUST).
| PID | Description |
|---|---|
| 870970-_basis_:45578097 | Record from the Danish National Bibliography (“basis”) produced by DBC (“870970”) |
| 726500-_katalog_:110221959 | Local catalogue record (“katalog”) from Roskilde Libraries (“726500”) |
A local variant may have the same ID number as a basic entry. This variant will normally only be exposed the that specific library - default is the “basis” record.
There are three types of records:
| Type | Content | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Community record (Fællesskabspost) |
General meta record shared with all libraries. | Full cataloguing. |
| Add-on record (Påhængspost) |
Local additions to a community record. | Partial cataloguing of local data |
| Local record (Lokalpost) |
Meta record for a strictly local cataloguing - not to be shared with other libraries | Full cataloguing |
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a standard for descriptive cataloguing initially released in June 2010,[1] providing instructions and guidelines on formulating bibliographic data. Intended for use by libraries and other cultural organizations such as museums and archives, RDA is the successor to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2). (Source: Wikipedia)
