[Koha-devel] roadmap to LRM support ? [was Re: What is biblioitemnumber for?]

[Paul Poulain]

Hello Stefano,

What you're pointing Stefano is very important: we must start our effort 
toward LRM.

Here is my 1st thoughts about it: I think that LRM support on Koha means 
2 things:

  * internal handling of the LRM model. This would mean breaking the
    biblio/items structure of the database, managing "LRM records" (if
    we have), proposing LRM cataloguing tools, and changing many many
    other things in Koha (like MARC staging, z39/50 search, ...) I feel
    that this will require years and a lot of work, and for now the
    national catalogs are not ready to propose that.
  * new search paradigm. What the Oslo Public Library made is very
    interesting. when you do a search, you get the works
    (author/title/copyright date), then can see the expressions that
    exists in the library (publication dates, material type/support),
    then the items. Example: XXXXX I don't know in US, italy or other
    countries, but in France the BNF is working hard on adding "LRM"
    fields in their catalogue. This is done by adding new MARC fields (a
    lot...), that will contain an ARK to the linked data (work, authors,
    place, subject, ...). Last week, there was a meeting at the BNF
    where they presented their plans for 2019. BibLibre has not yet
    started to investigate the effort to create a "LRM-UNIMARC-Elastic
    Search" in Koha, but, for sure that's something we'll investigate in
    2019. If anyone is willing to join the effort, let me know (even
    better: if you are interested in LRM-MARC21-Elastic, the idea being
    to have a flexible configuration). If anyone has information
    regarding LRM-MARC21-LoC plans, feel free to share !

Have I missed something ? What are your plan regarding IFLA-LRM ? What's 
next ?
