Table 1 — Messages in the Catalogue Transfer Standard
A communication used right at the beginning of the process that is not shown in Table 1 enables the acquiring record company to obtain metadata from the relinquishing record company about the releases that are the subject of the catalogue transfer. This metadata will usually have been defined in the contract between the two record companies. However, the acquiring record company may also wish to obtain the metadata in electronic format. This could be effected by using a CatalogTransferMessage.
