--- Comment #2 from mathieu saby <[email protected]> --- Hi Even with only lowercases in 952/995, do you believe that the idea of allowing more subfields to be mapped in SQL is a bad idea? But I think uppercases are allowed in UNIMARC for subfields in local (9XX) fields, and I doubt it is forbidden in MARC21. For Marc21 the alphabetic character must be lowercase: Subfield codes - Two characters that distinguish the data elements within a field which require separate manipulation. A subfield code consists of a delimiter (ASCII 1F hex), represented in this document as a $, followed by a data element identifier. Data element identifiers may be a lowercase alphabetic or a numeric character. https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdintro.html But there is no such precision for UNIMARC: Subfield Identifier – A code consisting of two characters identifying individual subfields within a variable field. The first character, the delimiter, is always the same unique character specified in ISO 2709 and the second character, the subfield code, is either numeric or alphabetic https://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/2655/1/UNIMARC-2008-AH_final.pdf And in marcXML schema you can read this, so it seems that uppercase are allowed in MARC21 for local data https://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd "May 21, 2009 - Version 1.2 - in subfieldcodeDataType the pattern "[\da-z!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?{}_^`~\[\]\\]{1}" changed to: "[\dA-Za-z!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?{}_^`~\[\]\\]{1}" i.e "A-Z" added after "[\d" before "a-z" to allow upper case. This change is for consistency with the documentation. ************************************************************ This schema supports XML markup of MARC21 records as specified in the MARC documentation (see www.loc.gov). It allows tags with alphabetics and subfield codes that are symbols, neither of which are as yet used in the MARC 21 communications formats, but are allowed by MARC 21 for local data." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
