Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Linking bibliographic records to non-LoC authorities using a support script
Just in case anybody else is trying to figure out something similar: We have eventually tried testing LoC authority linking (and also Czech authority linking when the authorities have "n" or "z" thesaurus value in 008) and in this case the support script works okay :-). Actually, having the "n" or "z" value is even a bit more in line with MARC official specification (http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad008.html) than using upper case characters (http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.12/_thesauri.html) - or any other characters than those mentioned in the MARC specification.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Linking bibliographic records to non-LoC authorities using a support script
Hi Vaclav, The script has an internalized summary of the LoC control set, and doesn't load it from the server. With development, it should be possible to teach authority_control_fields.pl how to load the control set definition from the database. That's still on my wish list, though. As with most new features, it's a matter of time and priority...
