You should be able to meet all of your needs through SolrMarc configuration. The default VuFind SolrMarc configuration can be found in import/import.properties (or local/import/import.properties, if you are using VuFind 2 with the local settings directory enabled). The import.properties file then specifies which MARC mappings file(s) are used to load data (by default, it's marc.properties for default settings with overrides in marc_local.properties). If you want to use different settings for different libraries, you can create copies of import.properties for each library you are working with. These can then use different encoding settings and point to different mapping properties files if necessary (for example, if you want to use a different hard-coded institution field for each library to distinguish between them). There is a -p command-line switch on the import-marc script which can be used to tell SolrMarc which import.properties file to use, so you can specify the appropriate configuration file for each library that you work with. Regarding Unimarc, I have just opened a JIRA ticket on the subject: http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-828 Attached to this ticket is a uni.marc.properties file contributed by Daniel Bourrion which contains marc.properties-style mappings for Unimarc. It is not complete and may need some refinements because it is a few years old, but it might be a helpful starting point. Another option may be to look into whether tools exist to convert Unimarc to MARC21 -- if they do, then it might be easier to simply convert the data prior to loading it into VuFind. I hope this answers all of your questions, but please let me know if you need more details or clarification on anything! - Demian ________________________________________ From: Jacopo Anderlini [jac...@st...] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2013 7:22 AM To: vuf...@li... Subject: [VuFind-Tech] Import differently encoded MARC records in VuFind Hi all, we are trying to use VuFind as a metaopac, i.e. to index different archives and libraries databases. One of the big problems we are facing is how to import UNIMARC ISO2709 data. This metaopac is a initiative to federate different italian libraries and archives: many of them relies on Institutional and closed-source ILS and others on platforms like PMB and Koha. Some of the libraries were able to give us MARC21 records, and everything was imported well inside VuFind. We are still not able to import UNIMARC (or the particular UNIMARC outputted from PMB). We would like to know: 1. if it's possible to import UNIMARC records in VuFind 2. if it's possible to import differently encoded MARC records in the same VuFind installation 3. if there is a way to differentiate records from each library Thank you in advance for your help :) Jacopo A. P.s.: regarding the first question, we noticed this, in the SolrMarc config: http://code.google.com/p/solrmarc/wiki/GettingStartedFromASourceDistribution#Enter_encoding_of_MARC_records: But we don't understand how we can change the encoding flavour in the SolrMarc's VuFind installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Vufind-tech mailing list Vuf...@li... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vufind-tech |
