call for MARC21 parameters => IMPORTANT
Hi everybody, In the 1.3.3 version, the UNIMARC/french parameters table are working well, they have been builded by a librarian with my help. the MARC21/english tables are NOT in a safe state. fields choosen are stupid, and some causes pain in the software. I call here for someone with a good MARC21 practicte to complete those MARC21 tables to fit a "standard" MARC management. Maybe Ambrose ? Or NPL ? It's quite simple to do : modify parameters with the GUI, and when you get something nice, dump the tables marc_tag_structure and marc_subfields_structure in a .sql file, then send it to me, or put it on cvs, in misc/marc_datas/marc21_en/structure_def.sql ! I will add as soon as possible a tool in the admin screen to check some mandatory things, to get sure that the parameters are consistent (as described in http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=UserDoc ) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

I think NPL (or other libraries/librarians) would do a much better job than me; I am not a librarian and only have a limited understanding of MARC21. -- Ambrose LI Cheuk-Wing <a.c.li@ieee.org>
Hi! I am a librarian, with some technical expertise, and perhaps I can help in this area. I need to know more exactly what is required. I have had some experience in building files to create data structures for MARC-like data bases. If you can show me exactly what you need, I will be able to tell if it's something I can manage.

There is no need for a technical expertise for this job. Let me explain : in the 2.0 version, librarians can define what they want to use in theirs local MARC flavour. So, there are 2 solutions : * we define nothing => every library will have to define what they want to manage. * we define a proposal for each marc flavour, during installation. That's the second solution that is the best imho. and that's the one I used for UNIMARC in french : our 1st library here in france, define it's UNIMARC parameters tables as they want, then I dumped the 2 files, and included them in standad distro. Any library that uses koha then can begin with this proposal or modify it. But they get a nice-and-working DB immediatly after installation. So what you have to do is pretty simple : install a MARC21 koha. go to parameter page and define a MARC21 that fits your need (for example : title and author on tab 0, isbn on tab 1, additional author on tab 1, ignoring "size" and "collection" parameters...) When you get something that fits your needs, you dump the 2 tables, send them to me, and it will be a starter for every MARC21 library. Is it clear ? don't forget to go to http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=UserDoc to get some help. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
