Good then. > Yes, I saw this. But it looks to me like bad database design to use > different fields for different languages - we don’t just have two of > them. When you know that you only have two languages, because the bulletin is being issued in two official languages, then such a document model seems perfectly appropriate to me. If you can have N languages, where N can arbitrarily raise, then indeed you'd use another technique like: 242 $a War and Peace $y eng 242 $a Guerre et Paix $y fre 242 $a מלחמה ושלום $y heb 245 $a Война и мир The beauty of the document model is that it is supporting both use cases. (Uploading, searching, submitting, editing etc are mostly fine, modulo some corners you've hit, such as language-dependent ranking weights.) > But „title translation“ sounds not like original titles in different > languages, does it? Dunno what is the most widespread practice in the library world. Usually, a work is created in some language, and then translated into other languages. Hence multiple-242-with-single-245 technique would seem appropriate to me. But I'd rather let some more MARC savvy persons on this list (Alex?) to chime in on this. > tag1 = 653__a, 2, ru > tag2 = 245__%, 10, ru > tag3 = 520__%, 2, ru > tag4 = 852__%, 2, en > tag5 = 100__%, 3, none > tag6 = 700__%, 2, none > tag7 = 490__%, 5, ru > tag8 = 260__%, 1, ru > > But I’m not sure if it makes sense what I configured. You may want to experiment with altering wrd.cfg ranking weights for fields and then rebalancing and then observing in the search UI whether "Similar records" links returns more or less appropriate records. E.g. if your keywords are highly precise, then you may want to rise their weights a bit as opposed to the title weight, say. > The library bus is now on its way, not all of the files are properly > indexed, but it’s quite usable. Do you have any pictures from the tour? Would be great to know more :) Best regards -- Tibor Simko
