Hi Marcel,

Sorry that I haven’t had a chance to reply on Bugzilla. I’ve been super busy.

For what it’s worth, I’m fine with it being stored in the MARC, so long as it’s also stored in the relational database. I thought it was an either/or question rather than a both/and question.

Curious to hear what people have to say!

Subject: [Koha-devel] Persistent identifiers in MARC record?

Hi all,

Last couple of weeks I had a discussion with David about this subject on bug 24544.

Please see https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24544

What do you think? If your authority, biblio or item has a PID, should we save it in MARC too? Noting that MARC is just a representation or view of your data. We already have a biblio_metadata table that allows for more. What if we already had multiple views? If you can, you are welcome to contribute to that discussion on the bug report.

Thanks,

Marcel
