RDA Conversion #5
Comments
Looking for users with knowledge of proper RDA to test this feature. If you have files you are interested in converting to RDA and can verify the conversion afterwards I would love to hear from you! |
I have a few suggestions, based on sending some AACR2 records through your conversion process:
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of these! |
This is all really great stuff! Thanks! Lots of my issues come from having a limited set of records to do testing on. Lots of the abbreviation fixing things I'm hoping to depend on users to assist in finding places that need more work. And of course with most RDA conversions, there's only so much an automated process can do, and I'm not trying to be a total and complete solution, but take as much of the hard work away as possible. For 040 subfield 2, I need to do some extra work. Apparently it's the only place (that I'm aware of at least - are there more places this matters?) that doesn't have an exact alphabet -> numeric sorting order. Looks like manual sorting is going to be a feature I need to implement sooner rather than later. Honest question: On a scale of 1-10 what would you consider being "out of order" from the standards be? With a 1 being "don't care" and a 10 being "refuse to use unless this is fixed"? The 264 stuff really confused me, and this build is my 2nd attempt at it. If there are multiple copyright years, should each one go in their own 264 _4 ? The rest is all excellent tips. I think it makes enough sense, and will work on implementing those additions. I'll post again when I've made some progress for more testing! Thanks a million for your help! |
I just pushed out another update with fixes for all but 1, 2, and 7, assuming I understood your other issues correctly. |
In theory 1 should be fixed now as well. |
Great! I'm out of the office today but will test again next week. There are many fields where the subfields are not in alphabetical order, like subject headings:
or subfields that are repeated:
It's super important that subfield order currently a field is preserved (10); as far as the order of subfields you're adding to records (like ‡e rda), that's less important (maybe a 3-4 to me) and some other editors don't support that either, like normalization rules in Alma. MARC tag order is also not numerical. For copyright dates, typically only the latest one is recorded so there should only be one. (I'll check and see if there are exceptions in AACR2 or RDA) |
Part 2 is fixed now too, which only leaves 7... which is more difficult and I'm still thinking of ways to fix. |
Is there any chance that you've been able to look at this again since I did more fixes? |
Hello! I'm looking for the new version in GitHub -- is there a zip or exe somewhere that I'm not seeing? |
When on the main github page, click on the releases link. [image: Inline image 1] Which leads to: https://github.com/frozen-solid/CSharp_MARC/releases It's definitely one of the things I dislike about Github... I wish the Sorry about that!

I really should have hung on to the MARC record examples where I spotted the issues for testing! 1-2. Looks fixed!
300 __ ‡a xx, 237 p. ; ‡c 23 cm. You should end up with: 300 __ ‡a xx, 237 p. ; ‡c 23 cm This one really is a picky difference, and a lot of people don't care, but it would be nice!
This should have have ended up with 264 _1 ‡a Stanford, California : ‡b Stanford University Press, ‡c 2012. That first one is the publication year, the second one is the copyright, so now they're broken I've got to run but I'll check the rest when I can, and I'm happy to answer any questions. In the meantime, I'm giving a talk at a regional tech services conference on Thursday about catalogers and developers working together! Do you mind if I mention your software as an example? |
I'd love to have my software talked about! I don't mind in the least. I'll see what I can do about improving the last couple of issues you can Thanks again for all of your help! I really really appreciate it. On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 11:53 AM, Kathryn Lybarger <[email protected]

The 300c should be fixed now. I'm not quite sure about how to handle the 264 fix, mainly because the copyright symbol isn't often included unless it's RDA. I'll have to do some thinking. |
