[Bug 40311] New: New authority framework plugin for UNIMARC (unimarc_field_676a_authorities.pl)
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40311 Bug ID: 40311 Summary: New authority framework plugin for UNIMARC (unimarc_field_676a_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@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: a.roussos@dataly.gr QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Background information ---------------------- Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) [1] numbers can be stored in UNIMARC authority records as follows ('R' and 'NR' denoting 'Repeatable' and 'Non-Repeatable' fields/subfields, respectively): 676 - DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION (DDC) (R) 676$a - DDC Number, Single or Beginning of a Range (NR) 676$b - DDC number, End of a Range (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 UNIMARC subfield 676$R (notice: uppercase 'r'). An example would be: 676 # # $a 248.4819 $c Orthodox Church--guides to Christian life $v 23 $R https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ddc/E3C6vtHXW4B47QbmtQWxmmH3PQ For more information, please refer to the IFLA UNIMARC Authorities Format Manual (online edition) [2]. The OCLC Dewey Linked Data API ------------------------------ OCLC recently [3] started offering a Linked Data (LD) [4] API [5] 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 [6]. 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 UNIMARC 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=40311 --- Comment #1 from Andreas Roussos <a.roussos@dataly.gr> --- Created attachment 183816 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=183816&action=edit Bug 40311: add new Authority Framework plugin for UNIMARC 676$a This Authority Framework plugin should be attached to UNIMARC authority field 676$a, which will then allow the cataloguer to lookup a single DDC (or a DDC range if 676$b is also filled in) in exchange for a Dewey Linked Data URL and Description that will be copied to subfields 676$R and 676$c, respectively. Test plan: 1) Go to Administration > Authority types, and for each authtype associate subfield 676$a with the unimarc_field_676a_authorities.pl plugin. 2) For each authtype, also add subfield $R (notice the uppercase 'r') under field 676 with a description that reads: "Real World Object URI" (repeatable, not mandatory, managed in tab 6, and is a URL). 3) Create a new authority, or edit an existing one. Click on the 'Tag editor' button on the far right of the 676$a subfield. Experiment with the behaviour of the plugin when no DDC has been filled in, or when an erroneous DDC has been filled in, or when 676$b has also been filled in. Monitor your browser's JavaScript console for warnings/errors (there shouldn't be any!). 4) Experiment with changing the values of the related System Preferences (found under the 'OCLC Dewey Linked Data API' heading) and seeing how it affects the behaviour of the plugin. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
