https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17233 --- Comment #1 from Jacek Ablewicz <ablewicz@gmail.com> --- Created attachment 55098 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=55098&action=edit Bug 17233 - Add 008 value builder plugin for MARC21 classifications This patch adds 008 cataloguing value builder for MARC21 classifications records (LCC, DDC/Dewey, UDC and so on). For most practical purposes, MARC21 classification records (<https://www.loc.gov/marc/classification/>) are quite similar to regular MARC21 authority records, so handling them in Koha is (almost) achievable by means of the built-in 'regular' MARC21 authority records related functionalities, but there are some notable differences - in particular, 008 field length and format is not the same. To test: 1) apply patch 2) link the new plugin (marc21_field_008_classifications.pl) to the 008 field in the existing (or cloned, ..) authority framework of your choice 3) try to add, edit, re-edit 008 field using this "authority" framework, ensure that the new plugin behaves as it should according to the Library of Congress specifications for MARC21 classification records 008 field format (<https://www.loc.gov/marc/classification/cd008.html>). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Tompsett <mtompset@hotmail.com> --- There was another plug in that did a really cool single line at the top and highlight and update thing, but this generally works. An improvement would be highlighting changes, because if I put an invalid value in the field and then call up the builder, it defaults to a valid value in the part that is invalid. But I don't think this is a reason to block this. Signing off. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17233 --- Comment #6 from Jacek Ablewicz <abl@biblos.pk.edu.pl> --- As far as I know, for all practical purposes, classification records (or "classification authority records" in other nomenclature) are authority records, just slightly different kind than "ordinary" authority records. LoC classification records are generally speaking, numeric classification records (of different types: UDC, Dewey, and so on) controlled by an authority. In MARC21 biblio records, classification numbers are typically in 08X fields, and in the authority record, corresponding classification number is (usually ?) in the heading field with 153 tag. But, as Katrin said, for such "classification authority records" to be fully functional in Koha, apart from user-configurable stuff like frameworks, zebra indexes etc., you need to make some changes (additions) in the code too: - C4/Heading/MARC21.pm - C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm because tag numbers and subfields for a given authority types are hard coded in there. For example (we are using UDC numerical classification in here), we needed to add definitions for 080 and 153 tags in aforementioned files, because they were not supported by default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The problem here is that Koha is developed by software engineers and they do not really consult librarian.

This is both unhelpful, insulting and blatantly wrong. Many of the developers are trained librarians, and I doubt a single feature in Koha has been added without being specced and asked for by librarians. Trying to divide the community will not result in a better system Please stop -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Trying to divide the community will not result in a better system

Please stop

I wasn't try to insult anybody with a simple commentary. Ok, I accept that commentary is in the wrong way, but at the same time, I think it's not the way to react. I accept that you call my attention, but not in that way. And of course I do not want to divide the community, I think that this project is a good effort of many people around the world like you, who has spent a lot of time developing Koha. Please accept my apologize. Regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
