How does your UNIMARC records look like? Do you use embedded aka nested fields technique a lot? If yes, then it may be very hard to properly support UNIMARC with current Invenio, as Zeno already mentioned. We may be getting there later though, via ingestion store supporting virtual fields, aiming at supporting EAD and friends -- but this facility will not be ready for public consumption before many months. So we may want to re-open the UNIMARC question in a few months after ingestion store is ready. Unless somebody with urgent UNIMARC needs would like to join up and contribute code?
