Ok, I like where this is headed to. Questions, are there plans to:
- add valid values dropdowns to the cataloguing interface?
The list of valid MARC codes is very long and the list that will produce a link in the OPAC is still very short. I think we should leave things as is. Adding drop downs is dangerous if you don't know which values have been used already or might be used in incoming records. If the entry is not in the list, the data will be lost. And a full list of valid MARC codes would also be quite long. https://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/standard-identifier.html
We could have an AV category in Koha, with (at least) the supported values. Just thinking how end users will use this.
- add a way to retrieve those identifiers from the configured services?
Can you explain? Do you mean for enriching data?
I think that would not be easily done. If you have common names, the identifiers are added to allow to pick 'the right one'. If you try to match just on the name alone it's too risky.
The whole point in my opinion is to eventually have a '...' link opening a search on the desired identifiers provider (e.g. ORCID) so the link with the ID is automatically generated. JUST A THOUGHT.
- add the feature to the staff interface?
That would be a nice enhancement, but I think it's great as is already. We had 3 different libraries requesting to be able to see the ORCID in the OPAC until now. Looking forward to close these tickets :)
Yeah, my question was more a roadmap one: I've already pushed this, just wanted to know the next planned steps (IF ANY!) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
