https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41714 Bug ID: 41714 Summary: MARC21 authorities thesaurus link hardcoded Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: MARC Authority data support Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: tomascohen@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org UNIMARC heading mapping to thesaurus is read from the MARC bibliographic frameworks. On the other hand, MARC21 has them hardcoded in `C4::Heading::MARC21`. This has the side effect of not letting the linker tools honor the linking configuration from the frameworks. For example, if you define your own thesaurus `CEPAL_TOPIC` which you maintain with your own tools/process, and link it to `650$a`, running the linker will still look for `TOPIC_TERM` yielding bad results. We should have an implementation that: * Allows opting in to a UNIMARC-like behavior * Has a fallback mechanism for not-configured mappings so we wouldn't expect behavior change besides the frameworks-defined mappings * It doesn't reinvent the wheel on an old library -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
