You mean the "The GUTINDEX Listings of EBooks"?

At first glance these GUTINDEX look a bit less structured than the RDF format. 

Or are you referring to the MARC Records? Which, according to that page, are generated from the XML/RDF catalog.

Also, that page refers to the "machine-readable format" as being the RDF catalog, so I don't mind using that.

Thanks for the pointer. 

Would you know of a list of PG related projects by any chance?
