Re: [VuFind-General] Tuning Links in Vufind

I don't know if this is the same transformation you are using, but in case you are interested, there's a MAB-to-MARC tool here:

http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-461

If it's different from the one you have, it might be interesting to compare results.

Hi Ere,

we're not really using MARC at all, but a German library-data-format called MAB
which is translated into MARC when we're exporting the data for vufind.

The translation-file is one taken from the ILS'-developers/-vendors ExLibris and
as I am very much non-fluent in either MAB or MARC, it's beyond my capabilities
to "proof-read" it...

Since there are only a few German-Aleph-using-libraries working with or testing
vufind yet, I guess there are quite a few pitfalls (like wrong
data-format-mapping) ahead of us. And since in Germany every library seems to
use its own "interpretaTion" of MAB, the possibilities for pitfalls become
almost endless. :-)

Is MARC used as widely "diversified" as well?

Greetings
Kate
