[Koha-devel] Authority Marc Structure Import/Export Function

[David Cook]

Hi all:

What do folks think about adding an import/export function for the
authorities marc structure frameworks? 

 

Chris has already done a great RDA framework for MARC bibliographic
frameworks, which you can find here for download
(http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_frameworks). However, RDA also
creates changes to the MARC authority frameworks, and currently the only way
to update those is for each library to manually update their authority MARC
structures. 

 

If we have an import/export function, existing libraries can export and post
their MARC authority frameworks so that everyone else can import it and save
themselves some time and hassle. 

 

While MARC authority frameworks might not be as variable as bibliographic
frameworks, since they are "authorities", it might not hurt to have this
functionality in place for future updates to the MARC or for custom
localizations.
