--- Comment #7 from Jonathan Field <jonathan.field at ptfs-europe.com> ---
So, if I understand this correctly, what we are trying to do here is take a
MARC record (not necessarily print serial, could be an ebook or eaudio MARC
record for example) and upload it into Koha in ERM as an eresource title? In
the database structure this is essentially KBART2 format so the mappings are
MARC21 -> KBART. Right now, I think we only take the most basic information. 

I hope I've understood that correctly? 

There are a few people who have already trod this path I believe, for example:
https://github.com/zbw/marc2kbart/blob/master/imf/marc2kbart.fix
and 
https://github.com/adambuttrick/marc_to_kbart/blob/master/convert.py

These mappings make sense to me. We will never get a perfect match as some
KBART fields are simply not described in MARC. For example, embargo_info means
"you can't use this material until this date". That would never exist in MARC.
I think it's possible that quite a lot of the fields you listed would not
naturally be found in MARC.  

What do you think Heather/Katrin?
