C4::Biblio - cataloging management functions
Biblio.pm contains functions for managing storage and editing of bibliographic data within Koha. Most of the functions in this module are used for cataloging records: adding, editing, or removing biblios, biblioitems, or items. Koha's stores bibliographic information in three places:
In the 3.0 version of Koha, the authoritative record-level information is in biblioitems.marcxml
Because the data isn't completely normalized there's a chance for information to get out of sync. The design choice to go with a un-normalized schema was driven by performance and stability concerns. However, if this occur, it can be considered as a bug : The API is (or should be) complete & the only entry point for all biblio/items managements.
Because of this design choice, the process of managing storage and editing is a bit convoluted. Historically, Biblio.pm's grown to an unmanagable size and as a result we have several types of functions currently:
The MARC record (in biblioitems.marcxml) contains the complete marc record, including items. It also contains the biblionumber. That is the reason why it is not stored directly by AddBiblio, with all other fields . To save a biblio, we need to :
When dealing with items, we must :
When modifying a biblio or an item, the behaviour is quite similar.
($biblionumber,$biblioitemnumber) = AddBiblio($record,$frameworkcode);
Exported function (core API) for adding a new biblio to koha.
The first argument is a MARC::Record object containing the bib to add, while the second argument is the desired MARC framework code.
This function also accepts a third, optional argument: a hashref to additional options. The only defined option is defer_marc_save, which if present and mapped to a true value, causes AddBiblio to omit the call to save the MARC in bibilioitems.marc and biblioitems.marcxml This option is provided only for the use of scripts such as bulkmarcimport.pl that may need to do some manipulation of the MARC record for item parsing before saving it and which cannot afford the performance hit of saving the MARC record twice. Consequently, do not use that option unless you can guarantee that ModBiblioMarc will be called.
ModBiblio( $record,$biblionumber,$frameworkcode);
Replace an existing bib record identified by $biblionumber with one supplied by the MARC::Record object $record. The embedded item, biblioitem, and biblionumber fields from the previous version of the bib record replace any such fields of those tags that are present in $record. Consequently, ModBiblio() is not to be used to try to modify item records.
$frameworkcode specifies the MARC framework to use when storing the modified bib record; among other things, this controls how MARC fields get mapped to display columns in the biblio and biblioitems tables, as well as which fields are used to store embedded item, biblioitem, and biblionumber data for indexing.
Returns 1 on success 0 on failure
_strip_item_fields($record, $frameworkcode)
Utility routine to remove item tags from a MARC bib.
ModBiblioframework($biblionumber,$frameworkcode);
Exported function to modify a biblio framework
my $error = &DelBiblio($biblionumber);
Exported function (core API) for deleting a biblio in koha. Deletes biblio record from Zebra and Koha tables (biblio & biblioitems) Also backs it up to deleted* tables. Checks to make sure that the biblio has no items attached. return: $error : undef unless an error occurs
my $headings_linked = BiblioAutoLink($record, $frameworkcode)
Automatically links headings in a bib record to authorities.
Returns the number of headings changed
my $num_headings_changed, %results = LinkBibHeadingsToAuthorities($linker, $marc, $frameworkcode, [$allowrelink]);
Links bib headings to authority records by checking each authority-controlled field in the MARC::Record object $marc, looking for a matching authority record, and setting the linking subfield $9 to the ID of that authority record.
If $allowrelink is false, existing authids will never be replaced, regardless of the values of LinkerKeepStale and LinkerRelink.
Returns the number of heading links changed in the MARC record.
if ( _check_valid_auth_link($authid, $field) ) {
...
}
Check whether the specified heading-auth link is valid without reference to Zebra. Ideally this code would be in C4::Heading, but that won't be possible until we have de-cycled C4::AuthoritiesMarc, so this is the safest place.
my $values = GetRecordValue($field, $record, $frameworkcode);
Get MARC fields from a keyword defined in fieldmapping table.
SetFieldMapping($framework, $field, $fieldcode, $subfieldcode);
Set a Field to MARC mapping value, if it already exists we don't add a new one.
DeleteFieldMapping($id);
Delete a field mapping from an $id.
GetFieldMapping($frameworkcode);
Get all field mappings for a specified frameworkcode
$data = &GetBiblioData($biblionumber);
Returns information about the book with the given biblionumber. &GetBiblioData returns a reference-to-hash. The keys are the fields in the biblio and biblioitems tables in the Koha database.
In addition, $data->{subject} is the list of the book's subjects, separated by " , " (space, comma, space). If there are multiple biblioitems with the given biblionumber, only the first one is considered.
$itemdata = &GetBiblioItemData($biblioitemnumber);
Looks up the biblioitem with the given biblioitemnumber. Returns a reference-to-hash. The keys are the fields from the biblio, biblioitems, and itemtypes tables in the Koha database, except that biblioitems.notes is given as $itemdata->{bnotes}.
NOTE : This function has been copy/paste from C4/Biblio.pm from head before zebra integration.
$item = &GetBiblioFromItemNumber($itemnumber,$barcode);
Looks up the item with the given itemnumber. if undef, try the barcode.
&itemnodata returns a reference-to-hash whose keys are the fields from the biblio, biblioitems, and items tables in the Koha database.
$isbd = &GetISBDView($biblionumber);
Return the ISBD view which can be included in opac and intranet

The same function as GetMarcStructure except it just takes field in tab 0-9. (used field)
my $results = GetUsedMarcStructure($frameworkcode);
$results is a ref to an array which each case containts a ref to a hash which each keys is the columns from marc_subfield_structure

$frameworkcode is optional. If not given, then the default framework is used.
my $record = GetMarcBiblio($biblionumber, [$embeditems]);
Returns MARC::Record representing bib identified by $biblionumber. If no bib exists, returns undef. $embeditems. If set to true, items data are included. The MARC record contains biblio data, and items data if $embeditems is set to true.
my $marcxml = GetXmlBiblio($biblionumber);
Returns biblioitems.marcxml of the biblionumber passed in parameter. The XML should only contain biblio information (item information is no longer stored in marcxml field)
my $coins = GetCOinSBiblio($record);

$result = TransformMarcToKoha( $dbh, $record, $frameworkcode )
Extract data from a MARC bib record into a hashref representing Koha biblio, biblioitems, and items fields.
If passed an undefined record will log the error and return an empty hash_ref
$newkey = _disambiguate($table, $field);
This is a temporary hack to distinguish between the following sets of columns when using TransformMarcToKoha.
items.cn_source & biblioitems.cn_source items.cn_sort & biblioitems.cn_sort
Columns that are currently NOT distinguished (FIXME due to lack of time to fully test) are:
biblio.notes and biblioitems.notes biblionumber timestamp biblioitemnumber
FIXME - this is necessary because prefixing each column name with the table name would require changing lots of code and templates, and exposing more of the DB structure than is good to the UI templates, particularly since biblio and bibloitems may well merge in a future version. In the future, it would also be good to separate DB access and UI presentation field names more.
$result->{_disambiguate($table, $field)} =
get_koha_field_from_marc($table,$field,$record,$frameworkcode);
Internal function to map data from the MARC record to a specific non-MARC field. FIXME: this is meant to replace TransformMarcToKohaOneField after more testing.
