[Bug 11046] New: keeping uncertain or range dates in publicationyear and copyright date
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11046 Bug ID: 11046 Summary: keeping uncertain or range dates in publicationyear and copyright date Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: mathieu.saby@univ-rennes2.fr QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl In C4:Biblio::TransformMarcToKoha, publicationyear and copyrightdate are filled from MARC dates. MARC dates could be uncertain. like "200X", "2012?", "ca. 2012". If there is a "X" or a blank, the date is not copied in database. Maybe this could be fixed. But in that case, publicationyear and copyrightdate will sometimes contain non numerical data. Maybe that's an issue? Sometime MARC dates are a range, like "2010-2013". In that case, Koha is currently using only the first one. Why not both? Last remark : In UNIMARC, I don't know the difference between publicationyear and copyrightdate. Is it obvious for MARC21 people ? M. Saby -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
