Bug ID: 43860
Summary: Cataloging search results: bibliographic data shown in
arbitrary order, not following ISBD

Target Milestone: ---
In the cataloging search results (Cataloging > search box,
cataloguing/addbooks.pl), the line under the title shows the bibliographic data
in an arbitrary order that does not follow ISBD, and with inconsistent
punctuation:
Author - ISBN - Year - Publisher - Copyright Edition: X; Place - Extent; Size
- The ISBN comes before the publication data.
- The place of publication is separated from the publisher and shown after the
edition.
- The edition statement is glued to the previous element, with no separator.
- The year is repeated when copyrightdate is the same as publicationyear.
- If there is no extent, the size starts with ";".
On top of that, MARC subfields usually carry the ISBD punctuation that was
catalogued (264$a "New York, NY :", 264$b "Vision,", 300$a "501 p. ;"), so the
separators added by the template duplicate it. Some records have the
punctuation at the start of the next subfield instead (264$b ": Publisher",
300$c "; 30 cm"), with the same result.
Example (MARC21, 264 _1 $a New York, NY : $b Vision, / 250 $a First oversize
mass market edition. / 300 $a 501 p. ; $c 19 cm.):
Connelly, Michael. - 9781455524181 - Vision, Edition: First oversize mass
market edition. ; New York, NY : - 501 p. ; ; 19 cm.
The display has not changed since the templates were moved to Template Toolkit
(bug 5917). Bug 15649 already pointed out display problems on this page, and
comment #1 there says "The whole display should be revised".
Proposal: show the data following the order of the ISBD areas:
Author - Edition: X - Place : Publisher, Date - Extent ; Size - ISBN
- The publication area is grouped as "Place : Publisher, Date", with separators
only between the elements that are present, wrapped in <span
class="results_publication"> so it can be styled.
- copyrightdate is only shown if it differs from publicationyear.
- Size is preceded by " ; " if there is an extent, or by "- " if there is not.
- ISBN at the end.
- Leading and trailing ISBD punctuation (: ; , / = and spaces; also "." on
dates and "+" on extent/size) is stripped from each element before building the
line, so the template does not duplicate it.
Same record with the proposal:
Connelly, Michael. - Edition: First oversize mass market edition. - New York,
NY : Vision - 501 p. ; 19 cm. - 9781455524181
This is a template-only change (cataloguing/addbooks.tt), with no Perl or data
changes. It has been validated on the staging server of a Spanish library
network.
