NAME

C4::Record - MARC, MARCXML, DC, MODS, XML, etc. Record Management Functions and API

SYNOPSIS

New in Koha 3.x. This module handles all record-related management functions.

API (EXPORTED FUNCTIONS)

marc2marc - Convert from one flavour of ISO-2709 to another

  my ($error,$newmarc) = marc2marc($marc,$to_flavour,$from_flavour,$encoding);

Returns an ISO-2709 scalar

marc2marcxml - Convert from ISO-2709 to MARCXML

  my ($error,$marcxml) = marc2marcxml($marc,$encoding,$flavour);

Returns a MARCXML scalar

$marc - an ISO-2709 scalar or MARC::Record object

$encoding - UTF-8 or MARC-8 [UTF-8]

$flavour - MARC21 or UNIMARC

$dont_entity_encode - a flag that instructs marc2marcxml not to entity encode the xml before returning (optional)

marcxml2marc - Convert from MARCXML to ISO-2709

  my ($error,$marc) = marcxml2marc($marcxml,$encoding,$flavour);

Returns an ISO-2709 scalar

$marcxml - a MARCXML record

$encoding - UTF-8 or MARC-8 [UTF-8]

$flavour - MARC21 or UNIMARC

marc2dcxml - Convert from ISO-2709 to Dublin Core

    my dcxml = marc2dcxml ($marc, $xml, $biblionumber, $format);

EXAMPLE

    my dcxml = marc2dcxml (undef, undef, 1, "oaidc");

Convert MARC or MARCXML to Dublin Core metadata (XSLT Transformation), optionally can get an XML directly from biblio_metadata without item information. This method take into consideration the syspref 'marcflavour' (UNIMARC, MARC21 and NORMARC). Return an XML file with the format defined in $format

$marc - an ISO-2709 scalar or MARC::Record object

$xml - a MARCXML file

$biblionumber - biblionumber for database access

$format - accept three type of DC formats (oaidc, srwdc, and rdfdc )

marc2modsxml - Convert from ISO-2709 to MODS

  my $modsxml = marc2modsxml($marc);

Returns a MODS scalar

marc2madsxml - Convert from ISO-2709 to MADS

  my $madsxml = marc2madsxml($marc);

Returns a MADS scalar

_transformWithStylesheet - Transform a MARC record with a stylesheet

    my $xml = _transformWithStylesheet($marc, $stylesheet)

Returns the XML scalar result of the transformation. $stylesheet should contain the path to a stylesheet under intrahtdocs.

marc2csv - Convert several records from UNIMARC to CSV

  my ($csv) = marc2csv($biblios, $csvprofileid, $itemnumbers);

Pre and postprocessing can be done through a YAML file

Returns a CSV scalar

$biblio - a list of biblionumbers

$csvprofileid - the id of the CSV profile to use for the export (see export_format.export_format_id)

$itemnumbers - a list of itemnumbers to export

marcrecord2csv - Convert a single record from UNIMARC to CSV

  my ($csv) = marcrecord2csv($biblio, $csvprofileid, $header);

Returns a CSV scalar

$biblio - a biblionumber

$csvprofileid - the id of the CSV profile to use for the export (see export_format.export_format_id)

$header - true if the headers are to be printed (typically at first pass)

$csv - an already initialised Text::CSV object

$fieldprocessing

$itemnumbers a list of itemnumbers to export

changeEncoding - Change the encoding of a record

  my ($error, $newrecord) = changeEncoding($record,$format,$flavour,$to_encoding,$from_encoding);

Changes the encoding of a record

$record - the record itself can be in ISO-2709, a MARC::Record object, or MARCXML for now (required)

$format - MARC or MARCXML (required)

$flavour - MARC21 or UNIMARC, if MARC21, it will change the leader (optional) [defaults to Koha system preference]

$to_encoding - the encoding you want the record to end up in (optional) [UTF-8]

$from_encoding - the encoding the record is currently in (optional, it will probably be able to tell unless there's a problem with the record)

FIXME: the from_encoding doesn't work yet

FIXME: better handling for UNIMARC, it should allow management of 100 field

FIXME: shouldn't have to convert to and from xml/marc just to change encoding someone needs to re-write MARC::Record's 'encoding' method to actually alter the encoding rather than just changing the leader

marc2bibtex - Convert from MARC21 and UNIMARC to BibTex

  my ($bibtex) = marc2bibtex($record, $id);

Returns a BibTex scalar

$record - a MARC::Record object

$id - an id for the BibTex record (might be the biblionumber)

INTERNAL FUNCTIONS

_entity_encode - Entity-encode an array of strings

  my ($entity_encoded_string) = _entity_encode($string);

or

  my (@entity_encoded_strings) = _entity_encode(@strings);

Entity-encode an array of strings
