Re: [Evergreen-general] Setting Up a New Classification Scheme

2021-06-10 Thread Galen Charlton via Evergreen-general 
Hi,

To build on Jason's response, since NLM call numbers were designed to be
formatted (almost) exactly like LC call numbers, the
"asset.label_normalizer_lc" normalizer should do the trick. I did a tiny
bit of empirical testing to double-check that.

Regards,

Galen

Re: [Evergreen-general] Setting Up a New Classification Scheme

I thought I had more about this before I hit send but I guess not. The point of 
the normalizers are to pull the call number labels apart and make them sort 
consistently, so that the case doesn’t matter and the numbers sort the way we 
expect rather than the way a computer would normally do it. Looking at the 
label_sortkey field of asset.call_number for various types of call numbers 
should make it more obvious what the existing ones are doing.

Re: [Evergreen-general] Setting Up a New Classification Scheme

2021-06-10 Thread Jennifer Pringle via Evergreen-general 

Thanks Jason, this is super helpful!

Jennifer

Quoting Jason Boyer :

Hi Jennifer, there isn’t an interface to manage this yet and while  
the Angular client’s auto-grid feature will allow you to see the  
table, you’re not able to add or edit any entries. One reason  
there’s no interface for it is that one of the required fields is  
the name of a database procedure to perform the necessary  
normalization for sorting.


These are the steps you’d need to take to add a new classification  
scheme today:


Look at the existing call number classification normalization  
functions to see if one of them is applicable to the new scheme:  
asset.label_normalizer_generic, asset.label_normalizer_dewey, and  
asset.label_normalizer_lc. If none of these normalizers will work  
for the new scheme a new normalizing function will need to be  
written. (We’ll assume you have to put together an  
asset.label_normalizer_nlm for now)


Insert a new row into asset.call_number_class:
name | normalizer | field
National Library of Medicine | asset.label_normalizer_nlm |  
060ab,(other fields / subfields)


Then the opensrf.settings service (at least?) may need to be  
restarted. I’m not entirely certain about the extent of that.


And then it’s time to test because I’ve not actually done this  
myself but I don’t believe classification schemes are hard-coded  
anywhere. :)

[Evergreen-general] Setting Up a New Classification Scheme

2021-06-10 Thread Jennifer Pringle via Evergreen-general 


Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for information  
about the classification schemes in Evergreen.  I've looked through  
the official docs and the Evergreen wiki but I haven't been able to  
find anything that talks about how the classifications schemes are set  
up or what would be needed to set up a new one.


We've recently had a medical library join our consortium and they use  
National Library of Medicine as their classification scheme so I'm  
looking into what would be involved in adding NLM as an option in  
Evergreen.


Thanks,
