Hi all,
I would like to ask you for comments or Ideas in following problem:
We are planing implementation of Czech nation authorities in our Evergreen
at the time. Considering various workflow scenarios we discovered that in
some cases the most convenient workflow would be for us importing single
authority record via Z39.50.
Is there a way to save record imported to Evergreen via Z39.50 as authority
record?
Unfortunately, at this time Evergreen is not capable of importing
authority records via the existing "Import via Z39.50" interface; it was
built strictly for bibliographic records.
I think it's a worthy goal, though. A minimalist approach to making it
work would require something like adding a flag to the
config.z3950_source table to enable us to differentiate sources between
bibliographic and authority records. Then in the user interface we
would need a toggle that would know whether you were in authority or
bibliographic record mode, so that the appropriate sources, target
tables, and editor mode could be triggered.
A more forward-looking approach would include the possibility
of matching against SPARQL endpoints and the like for linked data
authority sources, as well as Z39.50, but that's probably *too* forward
looking right now :)
