15 min | Standing item: review metadata tickets | Specific tickets =flagged for us by Christine Di Bella The following specific tickets (included above) are ones DevPri would like assistance on (as time allows): ANW-412, ANW-475, ANW-1047. | |
10 min | Review agent mappings | “Would there be any time and/or interest in reviewing some data maps related to the agents module work, specifically import/export for agents as EAC-CPF and one for a standalone import/export for agents as MARCXML?” | |
20 min | Review MARC import | MARC 5XX, 65X, agent, and other fields import review complete; notes below. How to best publish this? | |
5 min | Export review process | Create one or more complete records with field names; save the json to our github; use this to text MARC and EAD2002 export | |

Proposed MARC 520 bug report
Title: MARC importer bug - 520 not importing correctly
The MARC importer is not handling the 520 field correctly.
For 520 fields where indicator 1 is {blank, 1, 2}, the data is imported into a general note type instead of scope and content note type.
Note that for 520 fields where indicator 1 is {3, 8}, the importer works correctly, importing in an abstract note / dropping the note entirely, respectively.
Test record:
Proposed Improvements
Add import capability for 583 (mapped to Processing Information note)
Add import capability for 555 (mapped to Other Finding aids; tricky though as this is used inconsistently). Alternately, ask Lyrasis to publish how they handle custom modifications for importing 555 and 856 fields to various AS fields.
MARC 65X review
*650, 656, 657 - small issues, should adjust documentation but no AS fix needed.
MARC agent review
*100/600/700 and 110/610/710 work reasonably close to the documentation. Main issue is note respecting the source indicators. Ticket?
*130 and 630 appear to work, 730 does not. 1) Ticket to allow 730; 2) Document this (X3X not mentioned at all)
*Feature request for all agents and subjects - import $0 into an authfile URI field? Is this already underway as part of the agents module work
MARC Other Fields review
*001 is ignored; feature request to map to identifier? Either way, document.
*008 works, but not entirely intuitive as to date behavior; should be documented.
*300 - if the importer can’t parse data (numeric in $a, a known extent type in $f), it defaults to “1 linear feet”.
Document what vocab this maps to.
Also, it’s kind of a mess. Consider reviewing in toto what’s going on, and how to improve it.

Reviewing metadata tickets
There were some tickets which might not need to be evaluated any long
ANW-412: VRA core for exporting digital objects
This is a fairly old ticket, there was disagreement about whether or not this was even desirable
Linked issue was closed as complete/duplicate
