--- Comment #20 from Mathieu Saby <[email protected]> ---
Following an discussion with Laurence Rault : maybe we could get rid of 942 and
use only 099, or get rid of 099 and use only 942 (by copying the 2 remaining
fields in 099 into unused 942 fields, such as 942$A or 942$B).

My choice was to keep both, as both are curently defined in default framework.

Completely changing the way "Koha" information is managed in UNIMARC records
would require a much heavier patch, and would be more complex to test.

Maybe we could consider this one as a "fix" (since Koha in UNIMARC out of the
box doesn't work properly...), and give ourselves the chance to rethink
everything more deeply? In that case, we'd need to seek the opinion not only of
the French-speaking UNIMARC community, but also that of other countries (Italy,
Portugal, etc.), which could take a long time.

The advantage of using 942 would be to simplify documentation and align UNIMARC
with MARC21. But perhaps 942 is used by UNIMARC data providers, or for data
specific to some union catalogs (in France I can assure it is NOT used by SUDOC
union catalog). In that case, using 099 as a default field could be an idea.
