I don't see how a structure like this gets you anywhere closer to an
abstraction layer that would permit somebody to code in terms of
semantic concepts like title and author instead of MARC tags, but if
you're looking for a serialization or data structure that is more
convenient for you to deal with, you might find searching the code4lib
mailing list archives for "MARC" and "JSON" to be fruitful.
