http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10811 Bug ID: 10811 Summary: Add a 999$c record matching rule to the MARC21 defaults Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: MARC Bibliographic record staging/import Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: dcook@prosentient.com.au QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Currently, the only default matching rules for MARC21 are ISBN and ISSN. However, I'm sure that many people would profit from having a 999$c "Koha biblionumber" record matching rule as well. 1) If you export your bib records to do some global/batch changes with another program (like MarcEdit), you can use this rule to replace the existing bib records with your modified records. 2) With my upcoming OAI-PMH harvesting feature, if you add a OAI-PMH repository with this rule in the configuration, you'll be able to automagically match updated records with the original records that you imported via OAI-PMH (the magic is that I check the incoming unique identifier against records in Koha, and if there is already a bib record in Koha matching that identifier, I write the biblionumber for that record back into the incoming record so that they match. It sounds convoluted but it works well). 3) People might have other ideas about this as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
