Re: [VuFind-Tech] Question on getFormat function in VuFindIndexer.java

[Lovins, D. <dan...@ya...>]

Thanks, Andrew. I'll continue to think about this and get back to the group with suggestions (especially if I can nail down the distinction between "Electronic" and "Online"). 

I think there's a mapping error, though, that might be worth pointing out now:

Line 282:        case 'O' [blank]: SHOULD BE add "Kit" 

Lines 283-284: case 'P': result.add("Kit"). SHOULD BE: result.add("Mixed materials")

 

/ Daniel

Daniel - This is definitly a VuFind issue.  I made that comment :)  This was something that I came across when developing the algoritm to detect the format from a marc record.  I found that if I captured the C from the 007 it was making too many records "Electronic".  Speaking of - I don't even like the term Electronic as a format - but I couldn't come up with a better term.  It's probably time that we re-evalute the format detection algortihm and revise it.  Please feel free to make any suggestions.

	Not sure if this is a VuFind question or a SolrMarc question ...
	
	I've been looking at how electronic resources are indexed in Solr.
	
	In VuFindIndexer.java (e.g., http://tinyurl.com/nevew8), where it's looking at records that have the value 'C' (= "Electronic Resource") in MARC 007 byte 0, and an R (= "remote") in byte 01, there's an in-line comment on lines 130-131: "Do not return - this will cause anything with an 856 field to be labeled as "Electronic".
	
	I'm just not sure what this means.
	
	The default for this routine (Case C) is "Software". Wouldn't the default kick in if nothing is returned? And how does the 856 relate to this?
	
	Thanks for your help.
