[Bug 42604] New: Authority linking and updating
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42604 Bug ID: 42604 Summary: Authority linking and updating Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: 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: viliam.polonec@snk.sk QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org I have a name authority record with 500 fields containing pseudonyms. For each individual pseudonym, I have created separate authority records. The problem is that they are not linked, so if the author dies, I have to manually edit every pseudonym record and add the date of death. Would it be possible to use links via subfield 9 to connect the main author with the pseudonym records so that changes (such as updating the death date) would automatically propagate to the linked pseudonym records? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Koha doesn't have any capability for linked authorities, so that would be a new thing. Why are you creating individual authorities for the pseudonyms? The system preference IncludeSeeAlsoFromInSearches will allow searches on the pseudonym to return the controlled term. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42604 --- Comment #2 from Viliam <viliam.polonec@snk.sk> --- we create separate authority records because we follow RDA (Resource Description and Access) standards and our national cataloging policies. In our practice, a pseudonym is treated as a separate bibliographic identity. This is crucial for several reasons: - Bibliographic accuracy: We need to keep the name as it appears on the publication while still having it controlled by an authority record. - Relationship management: We use field 500 with specific relationship subfields (like $i for "Real name" or "Pseudonym") to link these identities. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42604 --- Comment #4 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- There is a feature to create hierarchical links between authorities, but it won't auto-update or similar, just create links. Maybe you could develop a cataloguing plugin to achieve what you want to do? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

In this time it is too complicated for me, but maybe with AI I will create something. But it will be better if it is in master than as plugin -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

They are linked to fields in the authority and bibliographic frameworks like the helpers you know for control fields. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
