[Bug 40310] New: New authority framework plugin for MARC21 (marc21_field_083a_authorities.pl)

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40310 Bug ID: 40310 Summary: New authority framework plugin for MARC21 (marc21_field_083a_authorities.pl) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: MARC Authority data support Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: a.roussos(a)dataly.gr QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Background information ---------------------- Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) [1] numbers can be stored in MARC21 authority records as follows ('R' and 'NR' denoting 'Repeatable' and 'Non-Repeatable' fields/subfields, respectively): 082 - Dewey Decimal Call Number (R) 082$a - Classification number (NR) 083 - Dewey Decimal Classification Number (R) 083$a - Classification number element-single number or beginning number of span (NR) 083$b - Classification number element-ending number of span (NR) Since 2024, both MARC21 and UNIMARC standards have been updated to enable storing information in the form of Real World Object URIs, corresponding to either a single DDC number or a DDC number range. Such URIs are stored in MARC21 subfield 082$1 / 083$1. Here's an example provided by LoC: 083 0 0 $a 362.29/6 $2 23/eng/20190402 $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ddc/E36hxQKtFdbKrbpm3XkqkQVCQw For more information, please refer to the LoC website [2,3]: The OCLC Dewey Linked Data API ------------------------------ OCLC recently [4] started offering a Linked Data (LD) [5] API [6] that allows looking up DDC numbers to obtain unique URIs/URLs and Descriptions for a particular DDC number (or range). In addition to API searches, a smaller subset of the LD can also be browsed online in a hierarchical manner [7]. Reasoning behind this Bug report -------------------------------- We believe that Koha users who include DDC numbers in their authority cataloguing would benefit from an integration with the OCLC Dewey LD API that would allow them to easily lookup DDCs in exchange for LD URIs/URLs and Descriptions. To this end, we propose the addition of a new Authority Framework plugin for MARC21 that will offer this functionality. This plugin builds on the groundwork laid by Bug 40308, in order to offer 1-click DDC lookups from within the Authorities cataloguing editor.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41437 Bug ID: 41437 Summary: Setting RestrictionBlockRenewing to block can cause extra auto renewals to sent Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: lucas(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle(a)bywatersolutions.com To recreate: 0. Set RestrictionBlockRenewing to 'block' 1. Set up a patron for auto rewenal and then check something out to them. Make sure the patron has an email address and has messaging preferences set to receive auto renewals. 2. Now do something that would make an auto renewal fail. I placed the item from step 1 on hold for someone else. 2. Run the auto renewals cron ( perl /kohadevbox/koha/misc/cronjobs/automatic_renewals.pl -c -v ) 3. A notice should be generated telling the patron the thing cannot renew with the error code of `on_reserve`. ( good ) 4. Restrict the patron, doing this manually is fine. 5. Run the auto renewals cron again. 6. Another auto rewenal is sent tell the patron the thing cannot renew with the error code `restriction`. ( bad ) This is confusing. The item is still on hold, we shouldn't inform the patron that the items cannot auto renew, they already know! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

In a 24.11.x instance, this works (start up a local instance or use one of the demos): 1. Authorities > New authority > Topical term 2. Don't enter any information in any fields. 3. Click 'save'. 4. Note that fields such as 000 and 003 are auto-populated (not sure if that is the right term). In 25.05.00 or main, this no longer works: 1. Repeat steps 1 to 3. 2. Note that: - fields such as 000 and 003 are not auto-populated - the mandatory fields are now highlighted in yellow - clicking the individual fields doesn't auto-populate them -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
