http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9069 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 9069 Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Summary: Make it possible to import MARC21 authorities from VIAF into Koha Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: magnus@enger.priv.no Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: master Component: MARC Authority data support Product: Koha Example VIAF record, HTML view: http://viaf.org/viaf/59083692/#Hamsun,_Knut,_1859-1952 Same record, MARC21: http://viaf.org/viaf/59083692/marc21.xml This can be transformed to ISO2709 with e.g.: yaz-marcdump -i marcxchange -o marc marc21.xml > myrecord.mrc I have not been able to stage and import the resulting .mrc file, and I *think* that is because the VIAF record does not have a 100 field. I think the reason for *that* is that the library/cataloguer should be able to choose the preferred name that goes into the 100 field. So maybe we need to accept authority records that lack a 100 field (so that the 100 field can be added later), or make it easy to add the 100 field as part of the import process? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
