--- Comment #4 from Gaetan Boisson <[email protected]> --- It is quite likely that composed authorities are a specificity of the French national library (BNF). The idea is that, in a single authority controlled field of your bibliographic record, you will be linking to different authorities of your authority file. In Matthias' example: 606 _311954119 _aGuerillas _311943195 _yBolivie _311976947 _z1945-1970 The 606 field is for "a common noun or noun phrase used as a subject heading", but it allows for a $y Geographical Subdivision and a $z Chronological Subdivision. The idea behind composed authorities is that the geographical subdivision will link to a different authority, which will be a Geographical Name, which would typically go in a 607 field as the main heading. So instead of having one authority for Guerillas in Bolivia, another one for Timor, yet another one for... etc. You have one Guerilla authority, and the subdivisions link to similarly unique authorities for geographical names. For now this patch only aims at making this possible in Koha, and compatible with the tool we made to update one library's records with those from the BNF server's, available here: https://git.biblibre.com/biblibre/vendangeur. Managing this in the graphical interface would be the next step. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
