[ipac] Indexing those 880 fields again

[Natasha Stephan]

Hi Jonathan,

I sent a reply to this list after you posted the last time; unfortunately, the archives are unavailable past 2005 (Ben? Susan?).  So I can't check to see what details I submitted.

 

We have basically done the same thing as U of Chicago, with some slight variations.  I can provide a list of the tags we chose for each index, if you're interested.  I don't recall having any problems with the conditionals, but perhaps I didn't notice.  I had difficulty testing the search capabilities as I don't have the means (or knowledge) to enter non-Roman characters from my workstation.  I just used cut and paste...

 

Here's an example from my word_index:

Author Keyword

BAW

.AW

1003

bib

Iauthor

100abcdfgklnpqt, 110abcdfgklnpt, 111acdefgklnpqt, 130adfgklmnoprst, 245c, 700abcdfgklmnopqrst, 710abcdfgklmnoprst, 711acdefgklnpqst, 730adfgklmnoprst,

*880abcdfgklnpqt, *880abcdfgklnpt, *880acdefgklnpqt, *880adfgklmnoprst, *880c, *880abcdfgklmnopqrst, *880abcdfgklmnoprst, *880acdefgklnpqst, *880adfgklmnoprst

 

The tags preceded by stars are conditional; they correspond to the previous tags, in order.  If you were to look at our marc_map for Iauthor, you would find that the first 880 above has a Conditional Part of 6/0.3 and a Conditional Value of 100.  The next 880 has the same part, but a value of 110.  And so on...  Is that how your marc_maps are set up?

 

If you search our HIP, <http://leonardo.lindahall.org <http://leonardo.lindahall.org/> >, you will find that you can enter this in Author Keyword:

町田 市立 国際 版 美術館 (copied from  bib# 457812)

And you will find five results, the first one of which is bib# 457812!

 

Good luck, and please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any further questions!

Natasha
