We run into this problem fairly regularly, and in fact, ran into it on
Monday with ruby-marc.
The way we've traditionally handled it is to put our marc stream through
a cleanup preprocessor before passing it off to a marc parser (ruby marc
or marc4j).
The preprocessor can do one of two
I am not sure how you ran into this problem on Monday with ruby-marc,
since ruby-marc doesn't currently handle Marc8 conversion to UTF-8 at
all -- how could you have run into a problem with Marc8 to UTF8
conversion? But that is what I am adding.
But yeah, using a preprocessor is certainly
Not sure what the details of our issue was on Monday -- but we do have
records that are supposedly encoded in UTF-8, but nonetheless contain
invalid characters.
I think raising an exception is fine, as long as we can still continue
to walk the records with the reader. The right thing for
Yeah, the default in ruby-marc for encodings that _aren't_ MARC8 are to
ignore bad bytes entirely -- leave them in the MARC::Record as bad
bytes. This is likely end up raising an exception later when you try to
DO something with those Strings, but was left this way for backwards
compatiblity

When I first started working on marc4j, its behavior was to behave as
suggested here, ie. expect the records to be correctly formed in almost
every respect, and to throw an exception when an error was encountered,
it was done in a way that didn't even allow the processing to continue

Hi Hugh-
You may want to check out CORAL http://erm.library.nd.edu/
It is an open source MySQL/PHP system that seems like it would do most of what
you want it to do, and could probably be modified to do it all.
